African Savanna Climate: Wet-Dry Tropical with Seasonal Extremes

The African savanna (tropical wet-dry climate) spans sub-Saharan nations like Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Seasons: Wet (Apr–Oct) with heavy rain, high humidity (up to 90%); Dry (Nov–Mar) with minimal rain. Temperatures: 20–30°C (68–86°F) average; days >30°C, nights ~15°C. Variability: Interannual rainfall shifts cause droughts/floods. Vegetation: Grasslands with scattered acacia/baobab trees, adapted to fire and drought. Wildlife: Migration driven by water — wildebeest, zebra, elephants; predators (lion, cheetah). Agriculture: Rain-fed maize, sorghum, millet, cotton, peanuts. Challenges: Water scarcity in dry season; climate adaptation critical for resilience. This climate shapes ecosystems, livelihoods, and cultures across millions of square kilometers.
