5. Characteristics
• High temperature (Mean annual
temperature is around 27°C)
– Why? Because of the high angle of
incidence of the sun’s ray, therefore, sun
rays are concentrated at a smaller area,
so the temperature is high
• Small annual temperature
range(Around 2°C to 3°C)
• High relative humidity (more than
80% throughout the year)
6. • Experiences conventional rainfall
– Because of the high temperature, causing water to
evaporate quickly to form clouds
• High rainfall of more than 2000mm
• No distinct wet or dry season
10. Where is it located?
• Between 5°N and 25°N
• Between 5°S and 25°S
11. Characteristics
• High temperature(Not as high as
the temperature in equatorial
climate)
– Why? Because places experiencing
monsoon climate is further away
from the equator, so the angle of
incidence of the sun rays is not as
high as the equator. Therefore, the
sun rays are concentrated over a
relatively larger area, so
temperature is not as high as the
equator.
