2. DRY SEASON
- from December to May
- The dry season may be subdivided further
into
(a) the cool dry season, from December to
February;
(b) the hot dry season, from March to May.
1. LATITUDE
FACTORS
The specific north to south grid
THAT AFFECT positions on earth ranging from
CLIMATE 0° at the equator to 90° at the
poles. Lower latitudes around
the equator get the most
sunlight, and as latitude
increases temperature
decreases.
2. ALTITUDE
FACTORS
It is the height of an area above sea
THAT AFFECT level. Generally, the higher an area is,
CLIMATE the colder the temperature is.
Temperature usually decreases by 1°C
for every 100 meters in altitude. Snow
can be found on top of a high mountain
even when the weather is warm in the
valleys.
3. DISTANCE TO THE
BODIES OF WATER
FACTORS
Areas that are close to oceans and other large
THAT AFFECT bodies of water tend to have more moderate
CLIMATE climate ranges between seasons.
