S3 Geography: Climate of Africa by Kiwalabye George William

These teacher-made notes from Trinity College Nabbingo introduce the elements used to describe climate and explain why climatic conditions vary across Africa. They discuss the effects of altitude, latitude, relief, ocean currents and prevailing winds on temperature and rainfall, using examples from eastern and southern Africa. The notes also introduce the inter-tropical convergence zone and its seasonal movement. Presented as brief slide-style points, the material focuses on factors affecting climate; it identifies Africa’s climatic zones as the subject of a later lesson.
