This climograph is a graphic representation of the relationship between temperature and precipitation plotted at monthly intervals for a year in Manaus, Brazil. The blue line is precipitation in inches on the right axis and the shaded green bars reflect temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit on the left axis. These two variables seem to have an inverse relationship in Manaus reflecting slightly higher temperatures with less precipitation and a bit lower temperatures with more precipitation. The temperature does not fluctuate a lot in this area of the tropical Amazon region but they do have a wet season and a dry one.
