The climate graphs for a station in Africa shows that there is not very much change in temperature between the seasons, there is merely around 12*C difference from highest to lowest. There is a temperature of around 25*C in the dry season, around 37*C in the beginning of the wet season and around 28*C in the middle of the wet season.
There is no rain fall in between January and April, making winter the dry season, but in March the rainfall gradually increases and reaches its peak in July making summer the wet season. After July the rainfall gradually decreases again.
From this we can determine that the station in Africa has a Savannah climate.

The pattern of temperature on the graph has two curves, meaning the temperature raises and decreases in two waves. The Savannah climate is sometimes described as the transition climate between tropical and desert climate, therefore there are both very wet seasons with a cooler temperature and very d...
