Explanation:

Regions with this climate experience high temperatures all year round. The average monthly temperatures are about 26 – 28 degrees Celsius. The annual temperature range (the difference between the average temperature of the hottest and coldest months) is very small. The annual temperature range may be as low as 3 degrees Celsius. Humidity is usually very high.

Another major characteristic of this climate is high rainfall. These regions usually experience 2000 mm of rainfall or more in a year. Rainfall is high for most of the year. Many equatorial regions are affected by the ITCZ.. One occurs when the ITCZ crosses these areas on its way north and another occurs when it crosses these areas again on its way south. The climograph below shows the rainfall and temperature pattern of an area which experiences an equatorial climate.
