All Tropical Climates are Hot, and Most are Wet
They’re hot because the sun is overhead (high in the sky) – lots of solar radiation reaches the surface.
They’re usually wet because they’re affected by the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone). In this zone, NE and SE trade winds meet and create a low pressure zone of rising air that cools and condenses, forming frequent heavy rainstorms.
They’re also wet because of travelling low pressure systems such as subtropical cyclones. Subtropical cyclones are spinning storms with a low pressure centre that form outside the tropics. They often move towards the Equator, bringing cooler air, winds and rain.

2. Your task! Include the following in your research:
You each need to research one of the following, but all of them have to be cover:
Equatorial Climates – Hot and Wet All Year
Tropical Savanna Climates – Hot with a Wet Season and a Dry Season
Monsoon Climates – Hot, Wet Summers and Cooler, Dry Winters
Include the following in your research:
Where are they located?
Characteristics of the climate?
Why is the climate like that? (Keep this to clear points)
Images if applicable.
