Climate diagrammes describe the predominant climate at a well-defined position. They show the average precipitation and temperature during the year.

It is thus possible to allocate the diagrammes to the climate zones and the data acquisition location. Print the PDF file providing the climate diagrammes and fill in the temperature line and the precipitation bars (or use the ready-made diagrammes found below).

After this, assign the diagrammes to each of the given data acquisition locations.

Data acquisition locations:

  • Hotan
  • Jodhpur
  • Kathmandu
  • Lhasa
  • Cherrapunji
Assign the above locations to the relevant climate diagramme and write down the climate zone, latitude and longitude, as well as the elevation.

Describe the diagrammes and explain the differences in average temperature and precipitation.

Identify possible reasons for the differences.

Explain why you assigned the data acquisition locations provided to the diagrammes in the way you did.

Do the climate diagrammes correspond to the climate zone for the particular place?
