Now that you gathered data related to average monthly temperatures and average monthly rain fall, you will use this data to create a climatograph for your assigned city. Climatographs or climate graphs typically display the average monthly rainfall data as a bar graph and the average monthly temperatures as a line graph. However, both the bar graph and the line graph are displayed as one graph as shown in the example below. Follow the procedures under the sample climatograph to complete this task.
