Explanation:

Equatorial hot, wet climate is found between 5* – 10* north & 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*C & fairly greater diurnal range of temperature ~ 12* – 15*C. Cloudiness and heavy precipitation ~ 150 – 250 cm of rainfall or more in a year, helps to moderate the temperature, so that even at the equator, climate is not unbearable. There is no month without the rain & a distinct dry season like that of savanna or tropical monsoon climate is absent.
