Isohyet Map


Isohyet maps are maps with lines, called isohyets, connecting areas/points of equal rainfall and displaying those recordings on said map.In this way, isohyet maps simply display rainfall amounts for regions using continuous lines or isohyets to convey this information. The above map is an isohyet map of the rainfall concentrations of an island of Hawaii in 2011. Here you can see the connecting lines, or isohyets, numbered by the amount of rainfall those areas produce and is measured in mm, according to the scale at the bottom of the map.
