| Climate and Weather |
Mali is a country with little marked relief. Also its climate depends narrowly on factors like the winds, rainfall and temperature. Four homogenous bioclimatic zones are based on these factors. The rainfall is low, random or accidental with as a consequence an aridity aggravated by the harmattan. Temperatures there are high with great differences between day and night. The Sudan zone is semi-arid to sub-humid. The rainy season lasts five to seven months. This zone corresponds to a forest area. The soils are red ferralitic. |
