For each of the following six locations, complete the climograph using the average monthly temperature (“Temp”) given in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and the average monthly precipitation (“Precp”) given in centimeters and inches. The average annual temperature and precipitation are provided for you. After completing the climographs, answer the questions at the end of Part I. You may plot data on the climographs using either S.I. or English (note that the English unit and S.I. unit scales on the climographs are not exactly equivalent). It may be helpful to locate each of these stations on a map (the latitude and longitude of each location is provided). No “H” climates are given.
