Africa is one of the seven continents in the world and is known as the "tropical continent". Its climate is characterized by high temperature, dryness and little rain, and the distribution of climatic zones is symmetrical from north to south with the equator as the center. The areas with an annual average temperature above 20℃ account for about 95% of the whole continent, of which more than half are hot all year round, and nearly half have warm and cool seasons.

The average annual temperature in Daluoer, Ethiopia in eastern Africa is 34.5℃, which is one of the highest temperatures in the world. Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, lies near the equator. Due to the high altitude, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, which is the lowest temperature in Africa.

The precipitation in Africa gradually decreases from the equator to the north and south sides, and the precipitation distribution is extremely uneven. There is almost no rainfall all year round in some areas, and the annual precipitation in some areas is as high as 10000 mm or more. Affected by rainfall, the air humidity in some areas is low, extremely dry and the somatosensory temperature is very high.
