What are the climate characteristics of the temperature zone where the equator is located?

The temperature zone where the equator is located - the tropics.

The tropics, the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer, are located on both sides of the equator, between 23°26′ north and south latitude, accounting for 39.8% of the total global area.

The most significant feature of tropical climate is that the temperature is higher throughout the year, the boundaries between the four seasons are not obvious, and the daily temperature change is greater than the annual temperature change. Due to differences in land surface and precipitation, tropical climates reflect different characteristics. Near the equator, it is humid and hot all year round, with frequent thunderstorms. The annual precipitation is about 2,500 mm, and the seasonal distribution is relatively even. Throughout the day, weather changes tend to be monotonous and regular. In the early morning, the weather is clear, cool and pleasant. Near noon, the cumulus clouds in the sky develop strongly and become thicker. At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky becomes dense with dark clouds, thunder rumbles, and heavy rain pours down. The rainfall can continue until dusk. After the rain, the weather was slightly cooler, but it became muggy again after sunrise the next day. Day after day, year after year, people call this climate "equatorial climate."

Equatorial climate - the climate in the area between 5-10 degrees north and south of the equator.

The basic characteristics are:

(1) High temperature. The annual average temperature is 25--28℃;

(2) There is a lot of rainfall. The average annual precipitation is 1000-3000mm, and the rainfall distribution is relatively even, with no obvious rainy and dry periods;

(3) High humidity;

(4) The annual variability of meteorological elements The change is not significant. The Congo River Basin and Gulf of Guinea in Africa, the Amazon River Basin in South America, and the Indonesian Islands in Asia belong to this type of climate, but there are also cases where the equatorial climate is classified as tropical climate.
