Is Africa a place with hot weather and lush trees?

From the latitude point of view, the African continent is mostly located at low latitudes: the equator passes through central Africa, and the Tropic of Cancer passes through the southern and northern parts of the continent respectively, which means that most of its I areas are located in the tropics, and few areas are located in the subtropics. So it's hot and hot.

influenced by the wind belt of the earth and the topography of Africa, there are low pressure belts on both sides of the equator, so there is abundant precipitation. Central and western Africa (Congo Basin) has a tropical rain forest climate, and the vegetation is tropical rain forest, so the climate is hot and the trees are flourishing.

Both sides of the tropical rain forest are controlled by subtropical high pressure zone, with hot climate and less precipitation. The main climate is savanna climate (also known as savanna), which is divided into dry and wet seasons. Vegetation is lush in rainy season and desolate in dry season.

The two sides of the savanna are tropical desert climate, with high temperature and dryness, and little rainfall. The famous Sahara Desert is more than 7.7 million ordinary kilometers, which can occupy the top five in the world in terms of area.

The northern and southern ends of Africa have a Mediterranean climate (very small area), with a little more precipitation, which is concentrated in winter.

So: Generally speaking, it is right that the weather is hot in the whole continent of Africa, and the lush trees are only a small piece of tropical rain forest in the middle (half of Madagascar), and the grasslands are sparse trees, while the desert areas are mainly deserts and Gobi.
