If an area has high temperature all year but a dry season long enough for natural grassland, which code is more likely?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Aw
Aw is the tropical savanna climate. The first letter A means that every month remains tropical and has a mean temperature of at least 18°C. The w indicates a pronounced dry winter or dry season. This seasonal dryness limits dense rainforest growth and favours grasses with scattered trees, producing savanna landscapes. Af has no distinct dry season, while EF and Cfb are not tropical climates.
