During the dry season, dry air flows out to sea and during the wet season, moist air flows inland from the sea, rises and produces rain. The monsoon circulation occurs in parts of Africa, Asia, Northern Australia and arguably in the North America desert southwest (debatable because it lacks a true seasonal flow reversal).
However, during hot/dry seasons, evaporation and transpiration occurs continuously without any sign of rainfall. What causes the absence of rainfall during dry seasons? Rainfall is not caused by evaporation. Evaporation causes an increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. Rainfall is caused by cloud formation followed by cooling temperatures ...
6. So, I understand that during much of the year, Panama gets regular rain due to moist air being carried in by the trade winds from the Caribbean. However, the country also has a "dry season" from roughly December to March, and I haven't been able to find information on why that happens, given that the trade winds are supposed to be blowing ...
India would be hotter in June and July, except the monsoon season is accompanied by a shift of wind-flow direction from continental to marine. Marine air is cooler than hot continental air because the ocean absorbs and transfers a lot of heat away. The hottest days in India are before the rainy season, because of the way the climate works there.
11. I am looking for locations/places/countries that only have one season. By seasons, I mean a large varying change in temperature and precipitation caused by the climate in the region. I am not looking for abnormal weather. every location on Earth is subject to seasons. You'd have to go to Venus to avoid them.
The burning during dry is key, because it allows the burning to be done between two growing seasons (the wet season). In Eastern North America, if you tried to burning during the dry season (summer), you would lose that growing season, and have to find another source of food that year. The other side to the dry season is the wet season.
$\begingroup$ I think the length of the rainy season is the issue. So you need to consider the correlation to rain in previous and subsequent days. A large rain event in the dry season can occur but can be short-lived. Potentially the amount of rain is less significant - you can have seasons of lots of days with light rain (think Seattle or ...
7. I got caught in a downpour while climbing a mountain and was amazed to see, as I climbed down, the tiny trickles of water combine to form mini-streams, the dry rocks I had climbed up now hosted sizable waterfalls, and the path which I had followed to the mountain had become a small river. But it got me wondering about my question, which is ...
Recently my prof asked a question: Why in subequatorial regions do we have six months of rainy season and six months dry season? How do wet and dry seasons 'form'? I can't find the answer anywh...
Some places, particularly those with a Cfb classification, may have a dry season and a wet season, but the wet season isn't all that much rainier than is the dry season. (Those places with a Csb classification have a much rainier wet season compared to the dry season.) The Valle de Yungilla has a Cfb climate. Eternal spring!
