The epoch that was warmer and drier than the Pleistocene is the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago and continues to the present. The Holocene has seen significant warming since the last glacial period of the Pleistocene, leading to the development of modern ecosystems and human civilizations. This epoch is characterized by stable climates that have contributed to the growth of agriculture and urban societies.

What was the weather like in the pleistocene period?
The climate during the Pleistocene epoch was extremely cold. More than 30% of the world was covered in ice sheets. The Pleistocene is the time period where the last ice age happened so you can predict there were many glaciers and not very many plants. So the climate was ice cold. It was much colder than it is today.

In geological time a period is smaller than an era but larger than a Epoch.The International Commission of Stratigraphic have divided the time as such from largest to smallest.Super-Eon - (SuperEonothem) (Not recognised by the ICS but unofficially recognised e.g. Precambrian time)Eon - (Eonothem)Era - (Erathem)Period - (System)Subperiod - (SubSystem)Epoch - (Series)Age - (Stage)Chron - (Chronozone) (Not recognised by the ICS but is unofficially recognised usually based on reversal of earths magnetic field)
What did the earths surface look like during the Pliocene time period?
The Quaternary Period encompasses the last 2.6 million years. The continents have been in about the same positions during the period. Animal life has changed tremendously with many of the large mammals going extinct after the last ice age ended about ten thousand years ago.

Did dinosaurs live in the Pleistocene period?
Most paleontologists count birds as dinosaurs, so in that sense, yes as there were Pleistocene birds. Other than birds, no. All non-avian dinosaurs died out at the end of the Cretaceous period more than 60 million years before the beginning of the Pleistocene.
