Isohyets map

Isohyet maps is a form of isoline maps that use lines called isohyets to connect geographical points of equal rainfall. In these maps sometimes shading is used to make it easier to interpret to the untrained viewer. This map uses isohyets to show the June 2012 rainfall amount in Honk Kong measured in millimeters.  The rainfall is heaviest in the redish shaded areas and lighter in the blueish shaded areas.
