Climate Diagram

The different climates of Africa show variations in the allocation of humid and arid months as well as in the fluctuation of temperature.

There are regions without humidity, without aridity, with one rainy season in summer or in winter, or with two rainy seasons.

These differences are reflected in the six climate diagrams arranged below.

Climate diagram: Salah, Algeria

Climate diagram: N'Djamena, Chad

Climate diagram: Nairobi, Kenya

Climate diagram:
Point Noire, Rep. Congo

Climate diagram: Windhoek, Namibia

Climate diagram: Cape Town, South-Africa

Describe the diagrams and allocate them to the different climate zones of Africa using a climate map as reference.

Why are there regions with two rainy seasons? Why are there others without any or just one rainy season?

Explain the reasons and check the arrangement of rainfall in your home town.
