Top Section: Annual Averages Are Shown by The Color-Coded Triangles On The Sides of The Charts

Each chart makes it easy to see how climate for a particular location changes over the year, and
how climate varies between locations. All the charts use the same scales, for easy comparison between different locations. The scales fit the extremes of the data, although for a few stations (less than 1%) the values are truncated to fit the top of the chart section. The tables below the charts show the un-truncated values. All of the climate values are monthly averages. For precipitation this means the average total monthly rainfall & snowfall. Each chart is in three sections. Here we show each section (reduced in size), working from top to bottom, and explain what it contains.
Top Section At the very top each chart is titled with the name of the location of the weather station
where the data was gathered. Below the title you can find the latitude,longitude, elevation (where available) and the NOAA/WMO station id. Next the months are listed, each given space proportional to the number of days it has, although that is hard to see. The temperature section is next. High and low temperature is shown with red and blue lines, respectively. Average temperature (shown when highs and lows are not available) is green. A Centigrade scale is on the left, and a Fahrenheit scale is on the right. Annual averages are shown by the color-coded triangles on the sides of the charts.
Middle Section Precipitation and humidity are shown in this section. Not all stations have all this
data. As with temperature, high and low humidity is shown with red and blue lines, respectively, while average, if present, is brown. Precipitation is in green, snowfall in white. Rainfall is displayed in millimeters on the left and tenths of an inch on the right.
Snowfall is measured in centimeters rather than millimeters, so to the use the same scales as for rain, what is displayed here is 1/10 of the actual snowfall measured. The actual values in centimeters and inches are shown in the tables. Humidity is shown in percent, using the bottom half of the tenths of an inch scale on the right. As for temperature, Annual averages are shown by the color-coded triangles on the sides of the charts.
Bottom Section Daylight is shown by the yellow area, with a time-of-day scale on both sides. Time
goes up on the scale, the the bottom edge of the yellow area represents sunrise, and the top edge represents sunset. The amount of daylight is determined by the latitude of the location. However, the precise time of sunrise and sunset also depends on longitude and time zone. I don't have an automated way of matching longitudes to time zones, so the rise and set times are approximate. If the times were precise, the yellow daylight would be the same size and shape, but moved up or down in the chart a little bit. Also, daylight savings time would cause an offset while it was in effect.
The month labels are shown again, then the seasons are are labeled and shown with a tinted background that extends up the chart. Seasons for the southern hemisphere are reversed from the northern hemisphere - i.e., when it is winter in Europe it is summer in Australia.
Data for Iloilo, Philippines
NOAA Station Id: PH98637
Latitude: 1042'N
Longitude: 12234'E
Elevation: 8m, 26'
Sunrise and Sunset Data

The yellow section shows when the sun is up, and how this changes over the year. Use the timeof-day scales, on the left and right, and the month scale on the top and bottom, to tell approximately when sunrise and sunset occur. See Reading the Chartsfor more info. The sunrise and sunset times shown in the chart are approximate. They are accurate for the latitude, and show the precise amount of daylight, but the rise and set times may be offset (up or down in the chart) since I don't have an automated way of matching time zones to longitudes. The charts are made assuming that the location is in the middle of an evenly spaced time zone. For precise times see US Naval Observatory. For Iloilo, Philippines, use latitude 1042'N and longitude 12234'E in the form. You'll need to know the time zone of the location.
