Title: Is There a place without Seasons ?
Post by: neilep on 28/12/2007 16:02:46

Hi ya,

I'm Neil. Nice to meet you.

I was wondering (like you do)...if there is a location on the Earth where the seasons (from a meteorological perspective) have little change at all.

So, is there a place on earth where the weather is pretty consistent all the year round ?....this includes temperature change as well !


whajafink ?

Yes, and there are a few places where the temperature remains pretty much constant all year round, they include:

Northern Australia
the phillipines
costa rica
and the indian subcontinent

ofcourse, some places or people can have four seasons in one day!

Rather doubt you can say anything about the Indian subcontinent - it is a big place, with local environments ranging from high mountain terrain, dessert, and rainforest.

Certainly, the tropics will have less variation in temperature, but most places do have a rainy season (although maybe there are some tropical islands that simply lack a dry season).
