Explanation:

Equatorial hot, wet climate is found between 5⁰– 10⁰north & south of the equator. The most outstanding feature of the equatorial climate is its great uniformity of temperature throughout the year with no winters. The average monthly temperatures are about 26 – 28 degrees Celsius, with small annual range of temperature ~ 3 degrees Celsius & fairly greater diurnal range of temperature ~ 12⁰– 15⁰? C. There is no month without the rain & a distinct dry season like that of savanna or tropical monsoon climate is absent.
