CLIMATE ZONES

There are three types of zones

WARM,TEMPERATE,COLD
-WARM equitorial,tropical,desert
-TEMPERATE mediterrain,oceanic
-COLD siderrian,polar
 TROPICAL CLIMATE

Tropical climate is a non-arid climate in

which all twelve months have mean
temperatures above 18 c
As compare to other tropics, where there
are strong variations in day length and
temperature, with season, tropical
temperature remains constant
throughout the year
Subtypes of tropical climate
• Warm humid equatorial climate
• Warm humid island
• Trade wind climate
• Hot-dry dessert/semi dessert
• Hot-dry maritime climate
• Composite/monsoon
• Tropical upland
 Warm and humid climate
• Warm and humid climate is found near equator
(0-15 N & S)
• Air temperature
• Day -27 C to 32 C
• Night -21 C to 27 C
• Humidity
• RH 75%
• May vary from 50% to 100%
• Vapour pressure
• 2500 to 3000 N/m2
• WIND VELOCITIES
• Typically low,calm,periods are frequent but strong wind can
occur during rain
 HOT AND DRY DESERT CLIMATE
• AIR TEMPERATURE
- DAY TEM. 43c to 49c
- NIGHT TEM.10c to 18c
• HUMIDITY
- 10% to 55%
• VAPOUR PRESSURE
- 750 to 1500 N/m3
• WIND VELOCITIES
- wind flow with 6-7m/s
