TOPIC 4. CLIMATE
TYPES AND ZONES
TEXT PG 91 - 97
Essential Questions Definitions Learning outcomes
A. How do people
classify places
with different
climates?
B. What are some
of the different
climatic zones
and their
characteristics?
- The
world is
divided
into
different
climatic
zones
based in
average
temperat
ure and
rainfall.
C. Describe and explain
the distribution and
characteristics of
equatorial, monsoon
and cool temperate
climates
D. Describe and explain
the weather and
climate of S’pore
with reference to
rainfall, RH and
temperature.
4A. How do people classify places with different
climates?
4B. What are some of the different climatic
zones and their characteristics?
What are
these 3
types of
climates?
4C. Describe and explain the
distribution and characteristics
of equatorial, monsoon and
cool temperate climates [3]
Location, Temperature, Rainfall, Season
Little Timothy Really Small
Equatorial Monsoon Cool temperate
(Marine west coast)
Location
- 10 North and
South of
Equator
Eg Singapore,
Malaysia
- 5 and 25 North and
South of equator
- Eg Chittagong in
Bangladesh and
Mumbai in India
- 45 and 60 North
and south of
equator
- Eg Paris, Canada
Temperature
- High
temperature
eg 27 C
- Small annual
temperature
range
- High mean annual
temperatures (30 C
in May, 25 C in July)
- High annual
temperature range (6
C)
- Large annual
temperature
range of 25 C (-3
C to 22 C)
Rainfall
- High rainfall
- More than
2,000mm
annually
- Big fluctuation
- 750mm in Oct,
2000mm in June
- Even distribution
of rain
- Lower amount of
300-900mm
Season
- No distinct
wet or dry
season
- Distinct wet and dry
seasons (due to
monsoon winds)
- 4 distinct seasons
- spring, summer,
autumn, winter
Climographs
- Temperature
- Rainfall
4D. Describe and explain
the weather and climate
of S’pore with reference
to Rainfall, Relative
Humidity and
temperature. [3]
Singapore’s Weather And Climate
Rainfall
 High
precipitation
 2200 mm
annually
 Northeast
monsoon(Oct
to Feb =
1125mm)
 Southwest
monsoon
(June to Sep
= 600mm)
Relative
Humidity
 High RH
 Mean annual
RH at 84.2%
 Because of
location near
the sea,
results in high
ratio of water
vapour in the
air
Temperature
 Uniformly high
temperature
throughout the
year
 Because
equator has
higher
concentration
of sun rays
 High mean
annual
temperature of
27.5 C
Homework 4
1. Describe and explain the
distribution and characteristics
of equatorial monsoon and cool
temperate climates. [3]
2. Describe and explain the
weather and climate of S’pore
with reference to rainfall, RH
and temperature. [3]
