Climograph

http://www.colorado.edu/geography/extra/geogweb/manitousprings/intro/page2.html
A climograph is a map that shows the monthly average temperature and precipitation of a certain location. These maps use a bar graph to show the average precipitation and a line to show the average temperature. This map type is great at showing the typical climate of a place in an easily understood format. The map above shows the average climate for Manitou Springs, Colorado.  From the map its easy to see that the months of June and July had significantly more precipitation than the others.
