Climatic types and causes of formation in Somalia Peninsula

Summer: Offshore winds are often blown, and the southeast trade winds cross the equator and turn to the southwest monsoon. The surface seawater goes offshore, while the bottom seawater overflows and the temperature is low. There are many upwelling, showing the nature of cold current, and less cooling and dehumidification precipitation, so it shows the nature of cold current (Somali cold current). The continental climate in summer is obvious, characterized by tropical desert climate (summer).

Winter: Affected by the northeast trade wind and monsoon current, blowing the northeast wind is a dry and hot wind blowing from land to sea. The climate type is neither obvious continental nor obvious tropical desert climate.

Extended data

The tropical desert climate is distributed in the mainland or the west coast between the Tropic of Cancer and 30 degrees north and south latitude, and extends to inland areas, such as northern Africa, Arabian Peninsula in Asia and desert areas in Australia. Under the control of subtropical high or trade winds, tropical continental air masses prevail.

It is characterized by high annual average temperature, large annual temperature difference, large daily temperature difference and scarce precipitation, and the annual precipitation is less than 125mm. The climate zone is desert factory+cloth, and there are few creatures, only sporadic drought-tolerant plants, such as cactus. There will be bushes on the edge of the desert. The vegetation type is tropical desert.
