Question
The northern and southern parts of Africa have opposite seasons at any time of the year. Why?
Solution
A large part of Africa lies between the tropics, and, therefore, most of the continent has a warm or hot climate. However, the amount of rainfall and humidity varies from area to area.
A noteworthy feature of the climate of Africa is that the northern and southern parts of the continent have opposite climates at any time of the year. In other words, when the northern part experiences summer, the southern part experiences winter.
