Precipitation and Climate Graphing

You'll be creating one of two graphs: a precipitation graph comparing three cities' high and low temperatures, or a climate graph comparing two cities' high and low temperatures and monthly precipitation. To get you started, you should have chosen your cities from this list (in addition to Janesville, WI):

Northern Hemisphere
Tokyo, Japan
Toronto, Canada
Berlin, Germany

Southern Hemisphere
Sydney, Australia
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Pretoria, South Africa

Go to www.weather.com and type in your city name (include its country too) in the search box on the top left of the screen. The site is slow, SO BE PATIENT! Then, follow these directions:

1. In the large center graphic, click on the blue Month tab.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the calendar of temperatures and click on Averages.
3. The averages screen will be a blank gray screen, asking you to install Adobe Flash Player. Don't do this. Instead, click Table Display at the top of the gray box.
4. You can now record your average high and low monthly temperatures (and precipitation if needed).
5. When you're done with this month, go back to the search box and repeat the process for your next city.

When you're done with all your data collection, you can do one of two things: late work for Social Studies, then one of the links on this website.
