The given column graphs compare the rainfall and temperature of Equatorial and Mediterranean climates. It can be seen that Equatorial climate is generally hotter and wetter than the Mediterranean climate.
In the Equatorial climate, November, December and January are the wettest months, with rainfall ranging between 230 and 270 cubic millimeter. In all other months, the rainfall fluctuates between 180 and 190 cu mm. The temperature is fairly stable throughout the year and ranges between 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, with May and June being slightly hotter than the other months.
The Mediterranean has the maximum rainfall in January at around 170 cu mm. December also has a rainfall of 150 cu mm. February, March and November have rainfall of 70 – 90 cu mm. All other months are relatively drier with rainfall below 20 cu mm. The temperature is around 11°C in January, which rises gradually and reaches a peak of 28°C in August, after which again it drops and reaches 11°C by December.
