Isohyets: Asia



Isohyets are lines that measure the amount of rainfall over a certain area. The lines connect and are sometimes differentiated by color to signify the amount of rainfall. In this particular map the darker shades of orange represent heavier rainfall and as the lines widen the amount of rainfall decreases. Isohyets can be used for larger areas like this one, or more concentrated areas.
