One zone merges gradually and almost imperceptibly in to the next. It is nevertheless
easy to identify the zone or the transition area between two zones to which a
particular settlement belongs.
The basis of this classification is given by the two atmospheric factors which
dominantly influence human comfort.
Air temperature and
Humidity
The main criterion is what extremes of these two factors are likely to cause
discomfort. Accordingly the tropical regions of earth are divided in to three major
climatic zones and three sub groups.
Warm – Humid equatorial climate
Hot dry desert or semidesert climate
Composite or Monsoon climate
