Why might you hear the remark that winter comes to the tropics at night?

What will be the ideal response?


ANSWER: Within the tropical wet climate (Af), seasonal temperature variations are small (normally less than 3°C) because the noon Sun is always high and the number of daylight hours is relatively constant. However, there is a greater variation in temperature between day (average high about 32°C) and night (average low about 22°C) than there is between the warmest and coolest months. This is why people remark that winter comes to the tropics at night.?
