Isohytes are the imaginary lines joining the points of equal rainfall.
An isohyet is a contour line drawn on maps that connect places or points that received the same amount of rainfall or precipitation at a given period of time.
It is used to represent areas that received similar amount of rain or equal density of rain during a particular storm.
These lines help to estimate the various rainfall parameters like the minimum and maximum, average rainfall of a particular region.
A map formed by these isohyetal lines is called the isohyetal map.
