Question

Write a short note on climate of Africa.

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Explain the type of climate in Africa.

Solution:
The most prominent type of climate observed in Africa is the tropical climate. Africa is one of the hottest regions in the world. Here, the summers are hot, and the winters are mild. The temperature remains high throughout the year in Africa, and there is no marked winter season. These regions receive adequate rainfall throughout the year. The areas north and south of the tropical regions experience a temperate climate. These regions experience marked summers and winters.
Rainfall distribution in Africa: The regions near the equator, i. e., the central and the western parts of Africa, receive heavy rainfall. The region surrounding the heavy rainfall area receives medium rain. The extreme north and south of Africa receive the least rainfall.
