California Climographs - Location List

Bear Flag of CaliforniaWelcome

Below is a list of places in California, each representing a climatological region within the Golden State. Each of these links will direct you to a website that contains the information or climate data you need to make a climograph.

All of the data below was gathered from a website called worldclimate.com. At this website, you can find climate data for 85,000 places all over the world. If you are interested, you could compare climates within California, but also against places all over the world, including New York, Paris, Rome, Cairo or even Grytviken Antarctica!

Many of these locations, and the accompanying climographs can be found on a Google Earth map. Click on the link below to see the map.

Some Climographs from the rest of the World

Use these to compare California climates to other places around the globe. Make sure you note the scales on the right and left vertical (Y) axes.
Consider how the the proximity (how close) each of these places are to: 1) an ocean, 2) the Equator 3) the Tropic of Cancer or Capricorn.
