Walter climate diagram
Walter climate diagram A graphic representation of climatic conditions at a particular place, which shows seasonal variations and extremes as well as mean values and therefore provides a succinct and easily accessible summary of a local climate. The diagram shows the height above sea level, the number of years during which temperature and precipitation observations continued, mean annual temperature and precipitation, mean daily minimum temperature in the coldest month and maximum in the warmest month, the lowest and highest temperatures recorded, mean daily variation in temperature, mean monthly temperature and precipitation, relative period of drought and relative humid season, mean monthly rainfall in excess of and below a given value, reduced supplementary precipitation curve, months in which the mean daily minimum temperature was below freezing, months with frosts, and the mean duration of frost-free days. The diagram was devised in 1979 by the German biogeographer Heinrich Walter.
