What is an Isohyet?

An isohyet is a line on a map which connects points that have the same amounts of precipitation in a given period or for a particular storm.



An isohyet is a form of map contour line displaying precipitation.

A contour line is also known as an isarithm, isoline, or isopleth, and it is contour line on a map which represents an imaginary line on the land’s surface. A contour line is always a function of two variables and is depicted as a curve that connects the points where the function has the same value. The function’s gradient is perpendicular to the contour lines at all times. If contour lines are found close to each other, then the magnitude of the gradient increases, implying the variation will be elevated. Contour lines could either be straight, curved, or a mixture of both lines on a map, and they describe an intersection of a hypothetical or real surface with one or more horizontal planes. There are different types of counter lines, and they are often given a specific name which begins with ‘iso’ which is an ancient Greek term meaning equal. The lines are named following the nature of the variable that is being mapped even though the phrase ‘contour line’ is applied in many usages.
