Is Africa hot

Answer 1

Since the continent of Africa is centered on the equator, the climate tends to be hot. This includes the arid deserts of northern Africa, the savanna grasslands, and the dense tropical jungles. Only on the coasts and in the higher elevations do more moderate temperatures prevail.

The greatest range of temperatures occurs in the deserts, with daytime temperatures as high as 45 °C , plunging to as low as 5 °C in the cloudless nights. The savanna temperatures average 25° to 30° C during the day. The rainforests can reach over 30°C, with very high relative humidity.

An example of temperature moderation

The city of Kampala, Uganda, near the Equator has a temperature range from 16.5 °C (night) to 25.4°C (day) in July, and a range of 18.1° to 28.4°C in January. Kinshasa, in the Congo, averages about 5 degrees warmer (23° to 32°C). The difference is that Kampala is at an elevation of 1190 meters and on the shore of Lake Victoria.
