A lot of people have the impression that Africa is all tropical rainforest or all savanna, but Africa displays a lot of climatic variation. Some regions are indeed tropical, but there are high mountain peaks in Africa that are snow-covered much of the year. The northern part of Africa is mostly desert, dominated by the great Sahara Desert. An strip of semi-desert followed by steppe separates the Sahara from sub-saharan Africa, where rainforests, deciduous forests, and savanna plains dominate. More semidesert and steppe is found in South Africa and east Africa, while the Namibian desert is found in southwest Africa.
Below you can find some map of African cliamte zones for further information.
I hope you found these map of climate of Africa useful and informative. I hope you will check back often for future updates!
