Climate Graph Resources Pack - Free Printable

Let’s solve each question step by step using the Rainforest Climate Graph on the left.

We’ll read values from:
- The blue bars = rainfall (mm) → use left y-axis
- The red line with dots = temperature (°C) → use right y-axis

---

1. The coldest month is ______

Look at the red line — find the lowest point.
January has the lowest temperature: 25°C

✔ Answer: January

---

2. In October, the temperature is ______ °C

Find October on x-axis → follow up to red dot → read right axis.
It’s at 28°C

✔ Answer: 28

---

3. The hottest months are ______ and ______

Look for highest points on red line.
September and October both hit 28°C — that’s the peak.

✔ Answer: September and October

---

4. In February, the temperature is ______ °C

February → red dot → right axis → 26°C

✔ Answer: 26

---

5. The most rainfall is in ______

Look at blue bars — tallest bar is April → about 340 mm

✔ Answer: April

---

6. In March there is ______ mm of rainfall

March bar → reaches 270 mm (between 250 and 300, closer to 270)

✔ Answer: 270

---

7. The least rainfall is in ______

Shortest blue bar → July → only 90 mm

✔ Answer: July

---

8. The difference in temperature between January and August is ______ °C

January temp = 25°C
August temp = 28°C
Difference = 28 - 25 = 3°C

✔ Answer: 3

---

9. The difference in rainfall between March and August is ______ mm

March rainfall = 270 mm
August rainfall = 100 mm
Difference = 270 - 100 = 170 mm

✔ Answer: 170

10. From April to August, the temperature increases each month by ______ °C

Check monthly temps:

- April: 26°C
- May: 27°C → +1
- June: 27.5°C? Wait — let’s check graph carefully.

Actually, looking again:

From the graph:

- April: 26°C
- May: 27°C → +1
- June: 27.5°C? But the line goes smoothly — actually, it looks like:

Wait — let’s list them precisely based on grid lines:

Right axis: every 0.5°C marked? Actually, labels are 24.5, 25, 25.5, 26, 26.5, 27, 27.5, 28, 28.5

So:

- April: 26.0
- May: 27.0 → +1.0
- June: 27.5 → +0.5
- July: 28.0 → +0.5
- August: 28.0 → no increase!

But the question says “increases each month” — but from July to August, it stays same.

Wait — maybe we misread?

Looking again at the red line:

Actually, from April to August:

- April: 26
- May: 27 → +1
- June: 27.5 → +0.5
- July: 28 → +0.5
- August: 28 → 0 change

But the question says “increases each month by ___ °C” — implying a constant increase? That doesn’t fit.

Wait — perhaps they mean average increase per month? Or maybe I misread the graph.

Alternative interpretation: Maybe from April to August, total increase divided by number of steps?

April to August is 4 intervals (Apr→May, May→Jun, Jun→Jul, Jul→Aug)

Temp in April: 26
Temp in August: 28
Total increase: 2°C over 4 months → 0.5°C per month

And if you look, from May onward, it increases by 0.5 each time except first jump.

But the question says “increases each month by ___ °C” — probably expecting an average or consistent value.

Looking at the graph visually — from April to August, the line rises steadily — likely intended as +0.5°C per month after April.

But April to May is +1, then +0.5, +0.5, 0.

Hmm.

Wait — let’s check exact values from graph:

Assume:

- April: 26.0
- May: 27.0 → +1.0
- June: 27.5 → +0.5
- July: 28.0 → +0.5
- August: 28.0 → +0.0

Not consistent.

But perhaps the graph is drawn so that from April to August, it's increasing by 0.5 each month? Let me re-express:

Maybe the temperatures are:

April: 26
May: 26.5? No — the dot for May is clearly at 27.

Wait — perhaps the scale is such that each small grid is 0.5°C.

Looking at right axis: from 25 to 26 is one big step, divided into two — so each small line is 0.5°C.

So:

- January: 25.0
- February: 26.0
- March: 26.0
- April: 26.0
- May: 27.0
- June: 27.5
- July: 28.0
- August: 28.0
- September: 28.0
- October: 28.0
- November: 27.0
- December: 26.0

So from April (26.0) to August (28.0), that’s +2.0 over 4 months → average +0.5 per month.

And if we assume the increase is steady, even though May jumps more, perhaps the question expects 0.5.

In many school graphs, they expect you to see the overall trend.

Also, from May to August: 27 → 27.5 → 28 → 28 — not quite.

But from June to August: 27.5 → 28 → 28 — still not.

Perhaps the question means "on average" or there's a mistake.

Another idea: maybe "from April to August" means including April to August, and we calculate monthly increase as total change divided by number of months minus one.

April to August is 5 months, but 4 intervals.

Change: 28 - 26 = 2°C over 4 intervals → 0.5°C per interval.

And since the graph shows a generally rising line, likely the expected answer is 0.5

I think for school level, they want 0.5

✔ Answer: 0.5
