The Philippines and other tropical countries near the equator experiences only two seasons - wet and dry. Countries located far above or far below the equator, such as the United States and England, experience four seasons.It's because they're closer to the equator.
Sri Lanka is approximately 400 miles from the Equator.
The Philippines have only two seasons and not four like the other countries because the Philippines is located near the equator. Since the the part where the equator is found is hot and the Philippines is located near the equator, the Philippines is considered as a tropical country which is ideal for us. This is because the spot where the Philippines lies is not very hot and not very cold. Meaning if it is not really cold and not really hot obviously the other seasons cannot happen in the Philippines like winter. this is because it is not cold enough in the Philippines to form snow like the other countries.
