How to read a climate chart
Climate charts provide an overview of the "climate in a particular place."
The letters in the top row stand for months: January, "February," etc. The bars and numbers convey the following information:
The blue bars represent the average amount of precipitation (rain, snow etc.) that falls in each month. The blue numbers are the amount of precipitation in either millimeters (liters per square meter) or inches. The red numbers are the average daily high and low temperatures for each month. And the red bars represent the average daily temperature span for each month. The thin gray line is 0 °C or 32 °F, the point of freezing, for orientation.

Usage
- argument 1
- Appears in the heading
- arguments 2–37
- The data. Think of it as 12 rows, one for each month, with left column for average low temperature, middle column for average high temperature and right column for precipitation.
- maxprecip=
- Supply highest monthly precipitation number if the blue precipitation bars pop out of the chart (happens if any of the monthly numbers is greater than about 750 mm (30 in.))
- float=
- left, right or none.
- clear=
- left, right, both or none.
- source=
- Supply the source of your data

Units
In articles where SI units (°C, mm) are preferred, input the data in those units. This is the default state — no further parameters are needed. In articles where imperial units (°F, inches) are preferred, input data in those units and specify the parameter units=imperial (see below). This parameter must be used so that the units are labeled correctly and so the conversion is done properly.

Float: right
