Maximum rain period is from June to September. Type II No dry season with a very pronounced maximum rain period from December to Febru- ary. There is not a single dry month. Minimum monthly rainfall occurs during the period from December to February or from March to May Type III No very pronounced maximum rain period, with a dry season lasting only from one to three months, either during the period from December to February or from March to May. This type resembles Type I since it has a short dry season. Type IV Rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year. This type resembles Type II since it has no dry season.
