What are the main climate types in Africa and what are their distribution characteristics?

Africa is dominated by tropical grassland climate types.

Tropical savanna climate

Distribution: tropical rain forest climate zone and the north and south sides of East African Plateau.

Features: high temperature all year round, divided into dry and wet seasons (rainy in summer and dry in winter).

Tropical grassland climate, also known as tropical dry and wet season climate, savanna climate, tropical savanna climate and tropical sparse grassland climate, is generally distributed between latitude 10 and the Tropic of Cancer, with most parts of Central Africa and South America and northern and eastern Brazil and Australia as typical examples. This kind of distribution area is located in the alternating control area of equatorial low pressure area and trade wind area. The annual temperature is high, and the annual average temperature is about 25℃. During the control period of equatorial low pressure zone, equatorial air mass prevails and precipitation is concentrated. During the trade wind control period, it is controlled by the tropical continental air mass, with little rain. The annual precipitation is generally 700- 1000 mm, and the dry season is obviously longer. The natural vegetation is savanna.
