Climate-Smart Kitchen Delivery Alcoves

Compare world climates to judge plans for kitchen delivery areas.

1. Compare the Temperature Patterns

Read about the kitchen project. Use the graphs to compare the three areas. °F means degrees Fahrenheit.

A Place for Kitchen Deliveries

A cooking-school group is planning kitchens in three parts of the world. Each kitchen needs a delivery alcove: a small covered area outside the kitchen where workers can leave empty supply carts. The group wants to compare plans that fit the usual outdoor conditions near each kitchen.

The kitchen areas are near Madrid in central Spain, Bangkok in central Thailand, and Santiago in central Chile. Spain is in Europe, Thailand is in Asia, and Chile is in South America. These places have different climates. Climate describes usual weather patterns over many years. Weather describes conditions at a particular time.

For this activity, the planners use made-up but realistic climate records covering 30 years. Each record represents one local area near a city, not the whole country. Each temperature bar shows an average for the named month across those years. Individual days can be warmer or cooler than that average.

The rainfall graph shows the average amount of rain in a whole year. It does not count rainy days or show when rain falls. The planners must compare temperature and rainfall information before choosing delivery-alcove features.
