Isohyets

 
 
An isohyet is a map that shows the same amount of rainfall of a certain area on a weather map. Isohyets are the lines shown on the weather maps that show the amount of rain fall.
 
 
The above image is an Isohyet that portrays the mean annual precipitation in the state of California from the years of 1961-1990.
