Equatorial The equatorial‚ hot‚ wet‚ climate is found between 5 degrees north and 10 degrees south of the equator. The temperature of the equatorial regions is hot throughout the year‚ with a very low temperature range usually of less than 3 degrees Celsius. Due to the heat in the equatorial belt mornings are bright and sunny. This causes evaporation and conventional air currents are set up‚ followed by heavy down pours of convectional rain.
