World climate

Climate is the average weather conditions recorded at a place over many years. The two most important factor are temperature and precipitation. According Wladimir Koppen`s classification of world climates: Equatorial, Tropical Continental and Monsoon are from Group A: Tropical/Mega thermal climates, Hot desert and Cold climate are from Group B: Dry arid/semiarid climates, and Tundra belongs to Group E: Polar and alpine climates 

 You can find Equatorial climate in the equator line and 10 degrees north and south, the temperature is always between (26-28C), there is no dry season and the rainfall is totally distributed all over the year, the precipitation has a value of at least 60MM it has no summer or Winter, it is typically hot and wet all the year. The precipitations are frequent in this places.

 You can find Monsoon climate in south and Central America, the temperature is mostly above 10degrees. In this climates there are wet and dry seasons, but one month is drier, it has a 60MM of precipitation but mostly 100MM.

 Tropical continental is found in Africa, Asia and South America, the temperature is near 18C almost all the year , typically it has dry seasons with a drier month and it has a precipitation of less than 60MM and also less than 100MM

 Hot desert climate is located in the desert of North Africa, the temperature is between (40-45C), these climate is generally hot, sunny and dry and it has a precipitation of about 28MM.
 Tundra climate is located in northern Canada, part of Alaska, most Greenland and northern Russia, the maximum temperature is between (7-10C) and winter temperatures can reach between (-28C to -34C). It is cold through all months of the year, Precipitation totals 6-10MM, which includes melted snow.

 You can find Cold desert in the Antarctic, Greenland and the Antarctic realm, winter temperature is between -2 to 4° C and summer temperature is between 21-26° C, The annual precipitation ranges are from 15-26 cm. Annual precipitation has reached a maximum of 46 cm and a minimum of 9 cm.
