The blue numbers are the amount of precipitation in either millimeters (liters per square meter) or inches. The red numbers are the average daily high and low temperatures for each month, and the red bars represent the average daily temperature span for each month. The thin gray line is 0 °C or 32 °F, the point of freezing, for orientation.
The Mahoney Tables (Evans, 1999; Evans, 2001) proposed a climate analysis sequence that starts with the basic and widely available monthly climatic data of temperature, humidity and rainfall, such as that found in HMSO (1958) and Pearce and Smith (1990), or data published by national meteorological services, for example SMN (1995).
While temperature is typically visualized using a line, some climographs opt to visualize the data using a bar. This method's advantage allows the climograph to display the average range in temperature (average minimum and average maximum temperatures) rather than a simple monthly average.
Pan evaporation is a measurement that combines or integrates the effects of several climate elements: temperature, humidity, rain fall, drought dispersion, solar radiation, and wind. Evaporation is greatest on hot, windy, dry, sunny days; and is greatly reduced when clouds block the sun and when air is cool, calm, and humid. [ 1 ]
Δ = Rate of change of saturation specific humidity with air temperature. (Pa K −1) R n = Net irradiance (MJ m −2 day −1), the external source of energy flux G = Ground heat flux (MJ m −2 day −1), usually equivalent to zero on a day T = Air temperature at 2m (K) u 2 = Wind speed at 2m height (m/s) δe = vapor pressure deficit (kPa)

The humidity adjustment approximately amounts to one Fahrenheit degree for every millibar by which the partial pressure of water in the atmosphere exceeds 10 millibars (10 hPa). At the time the humidex was originally developed in 1965, Canada was still on the Fahrenheit scale , and thus the humidex was originally based on that.
When this wind blows over Egypt, it causes high temperatures to soar temporarily at dangerous levels, usually over 49–50 °C (120–122 °F), the relative humidity levels to drop under 5%. The khamasīn causes sudden, early heat waves and the absolute highest temperature records in Egypt.
