TD - Chad

Chad has four climatic zones: vast and arid plains in the center, desert in the north, dry mountains in the north west, and tropical plains in the south. Going south you go from a desert climate with a very short or zero wet season to a tropical one in which the wet season lasts six / seven months with violent downpours. In the dry season, which culminates in January, harmattan often blows, an intense wind that blows from the Sahara to the Gulf of Guinea. Environmental risks in Chad include periodic droughts and the plague of locusts.
