Reading a Climate Graph

Where is this station/location? Precipitation Overall – low amount Highest – summer Lowest – winter Temperature Maximum: 18°C Minimum: -17°C Range: 35° Growing Season: 5 months

Precipitation Overall – low amount of precipitation Therefore continental air masses. Why? Continental Air masses are dry Highest – summer Convection precipitation occurs more in the summer in urbans areas or places without trees, like lowlands. Why? Ground heats up near the surface Lowest – winter Continental air masses are dry so frontal systems will produce less precipitation. No convection occuring

Temperature Temperature Maximum: 18°C (warm air mass dominates) Minimum: -17°C (cold air mass dominates) Range: 35° (indicates that there is not a moderating effect from water) Growing Season: 5 months (plants can grow but larger plants will struggle due to lack of moisture)
