Detailed explanation-1: -The tropical wet-dry climate is abbreviated Aw in the Köppen-Geiger-Pohl system. Temperatures in tropical wet-dry climate regions are high throughout the year but show a greater range than wet equatorial (Af) and Am climates (19–20 °C [66–68 °F] in winter and 24–27 °C [75–81 °F] in summer).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mean monthly temperatures in the Tropical Wet/Dry climate range from 18oC (64.4oF) to above 25oC (77oF).

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical Wet and Dry Climate Tropical wet and dry climates occur between 5° and 20° latitude and receive less rainfall. Most of the rain falls in a single season. The rest of the year is dry. Few trees can withstand the long dry season, so the main plants are grasses (Figure below).
