1 Reading a Climate Graph

2 Where is this station/location?
Precipitation Overall – low amount Highest – summer Lowest – winter Temperature Maximum: 18°C Minimum: -17°C Range: 35° Growing Season: 5 months

3 Precipitation Overall – low amount of precipitation
Therefore continental air masses. Why? Continental Air masses are dry Highest – summer Convection precipitation occurs more in the summer in urbans areas or places without trees. Why? Ground heats up near the surface Lowest – winter Continental air masses are dry so frontal systems will produce less precipitation. No convection occuring

4 Temperature Temperature Maximum: 18°C (warm air mass dominates)
Minimum: -17°C (cold air mass dominates) Range: 35° (indicates that there is not a moderating effect from water) Growing Season: 5 months (plants can grow but larger plants will struggle due to lack of moisture)

5 Climate Region? Overall – low amount of precipitation. Therefore continental air masses. Highest – summer Convection precipitation occurs more in the summer in urban areas or places without trees. Lowest – winter- Continental air masses are dry so frontal systems will produce less precipitation.

6 Climate Region? Temperature Maximum: 18°C (warm air mass dominates)
Minimum: -17°C (cold air mass dominates) Range: 35° (indicates that there is not a moderating effect from water) Growing Season: 5 months (plants can grow but larger plants will struggle)
