Isohyets





An isohyet is described as a line that connects two points on a map that have the same amounts of rainfall. If it rains 8 inches in Orlando, Florida and 8 inches in Miami, Florida the line that connects the two together is described as an isohyet. Once again, this figure is used to help the general public understand exactly what is going on as far as rainfall. This map shows us exactly what a isohyet is by the illustration of the connecting lines on the map.
