- **Temperature Data (°C):**
- Highest Temperature: ~30°C (July)
- Lowest Temperature: ~-10°C (December)
- **Precipitation Data (cm):**
- Highest Precipitation: ~20 cm (July)
- Lowest Precipitation: ~1-2 cm (Winter months)

- **Temperature Data (°C):**
- Highest Temperature: ~30°C (January)
- Lowest Temperature: ~-10°C (July)
- **Precipitation Data (cm):**
- Highest Precipitation: ~20 cm (July)
- Lowest Precipitation: ~1-2 cm (Winter months)
### Analysis
**Temperature Trends:**
- **Climograph 1:** Temperatures peak around July and dip around December, indicating a warm summer and cold winter, suggestive of a Northern Hemisphere location.
- **Climograph 2:** Temperatures peak around January and dip around July, indicative of a warm summer and cold winter consistent with a Southern Hemisphere location.
**Precipitation Patterns:**
- Both climographs show similar precipitation patterns, peaking in July and remaining low during the winter months.
### Conclusion
**Climograph 1** represents the Northern Hemisphere location as evidenced by the temperature peak during July and the dip during December.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/5cbb7168-36a6-47ab-92ab-442925d6273e/60230a3f-73eb-4672-9d04-1e340e67ff75/19a74qp_thumbnail.jpeg)

Transcribed Image Text:### Monthly Temperature and Precipitation Analysis
#### Temperature and Precipitation Data Overview
The image depicts a combined graph illustrating monthly temperature and precipitation data over the span of a year.
1. **X-axis**: Months of the Year
- **Labels**: J (January), F (February), M (March), A (April), M (May), J (June), J (July), A (August), S (September), O (October), N (November), D (December)
2. **Primary Y-axis (Left Side)**: Temperature (°C)
- **Range**: -30°C to 40°C
- **Label Color**: Black
3. **Secondary Y-axis (Right Side)**: Precipitation (mm)
- **Range**: 0 mm to 70 mm
- **Label Color**: White
#### Graph Details:
**Temperature Trend (Red Line with Dots)**
- **Highs and Lows**:
- The trend starts high at around 20°C in January and February.
- The temperature dips to its lowest point (~10°C) in June.
- Thereafter, it rises again, reaching about 20°C by December.
**Precipitation Trend (Blue Bars)**
- **Monthly Distribution**:
- Precipitation is highest in March (~25 mm).
- It diminishes gradually from April, reaching its minimum around August.
- There is an increase in precipitation starting from September till December.
### Interpretation
This graph provides a clear visualization of the typical climatic patterns, showing the variation in temperature and precipitation throughout the year. The data can be useful for understanding seasonal weather patterns, planning agricultural activities, or preparing for weather-related events.
