Analyze Data and Create a Climate Graph - Free Printable

Let’s go through each graph one by one and answer the questions based on what we see in the climate graphs.

Graph A

Looking at Graph A:
- The blue bars show precipitation (rainfall). The tallest bar is in July → highest precipitation.
- The shortest blue bar is in February → lowest precipitation.
- The red line shows temperature. It peaks in July → highest temperature.
- The red line is lowest in January → lowest temperature.

Answers for Graph A:
1. July
2. February
3. July
4. January

Graph B

Looking at Graph B:
- Blue bars: Tallest in December → highest precipitation.
- Shortest blue bar is in July → lowest precipitation.
- Red line: Highest point is in July → highest temperature.
- Lowest point of red line is in January → lowest temperature.

Answers for Graph B:
1. December
2. July
3. July
4. January

Graph C

Looking at Graph C:
- Blue bars are almost all the same height — but slightly taller in May → let’s say May has highest precipitation.
- Actually, looking closely, April and May look tied for highest? But since it asks for “which month,” pick one — May is fine. Or maybe June? Wait — actually, looking again, May looks like the tallest bar.
- Lowest precipitation? All months are high, but February looks a tiny bit lower than others.
- Temperature range: Look at red line — highest temp is around 80°F (in summer), lowest is around 65°F (in winter). So range = 80 - 65 = 15°F.
- Does this area have seasons? The temperature doesn’t change much — only 15 degrees difference all year. Precipitation is also steady. That means no real seasons — more like tropical or equatorial climate.

Answers for Graph C:
1. May (or possibly June — both very close; either is acceptable)
2. February
3. About 15°F (from ~65°F to ~80°F)
4. No — temperatures and rainfall stay fairly constant all year.

*(Note: If your teacher expects exact numbers from the graph, you might need to read the y-axis carefully. But visually, this is accurate.)*

Graph D

Looking at Graph D:
- Blue bars: Very low in July → that’s the lowest precipitation.
- Highest precipitation? Looks like November or December — let’s say December.
- Red line: Peaks in July → highest temperature.
- Lowest temperature? In January → coldest month.

Answers for Graph D:
1. July
2. December
3. July
4. January

Now, match the graphs to U.S. regions:

We know:
- Alaska → cold winters, cool summers, some rain/snow → matches Graph B (cold temps in winter, mild in summer, decent rain)
Wait — actually, let’s think again.

Better approach:

- Hawaii → warm all year, lots of rain → matches Graph C (steady high temps, consistent rain)
- Arizona → hot summers, very dry → matches Graph D (very little rain in summer, hot temps)
- Illinois → four seasons, moderate rain → matches Graph A (hot summers, cold winters, rain throughout)
- Alaska → cold most of year, some rain → matches Graph B (low temps in winter, mild in summer, rain in fall/winter)

So matching:

→ Graph A = Illinois
→ Graph B = Alaska
→ Graph C = Hawaii
→ Graph D = Arizona

But wait — let’s double-check Graph B: It has very cold winters (below freezing?) and mild summers — yes, that fits Alaska better than Illinois.

And Graph A has warmer summers and colder winters than Graph B — so Graph A is Illinois, Graph B is Alaska.

Yes.

Final Matching:

Graph A → Illinois
Graph B → Alaska
Graph C → Hawaii
Graph D → Arizona
