雨季

雨季,指在降水量有显著季节差异的地区,年降水量主要发生的月份,通常持续一个或多个月[1] 。拥有雨季的地区分布在热带亚热带[2]

根据柯本气候分类法,对于热带气候,雨季定义为平均降水量60毫米以上的月份[3]。不同的气候类型,雨季也不尽相同。以北半球为例:东亚季风区的雨季主要为夏季南亚季风区的雨季大约在6月~11月;热带莽原气候的雨季为夏季;地中海型气候的雨季为冬季。拥有旱季和雨季也是季风雨林的特色,热带雨林的降雨量则是在全年平均分布[4]。一些有显著雨季的地区,当热带辐合带季风槽移动到较高纬度时,雨季的降雨会中断[5]

若雨季在夏季发生,降水主要在下午和傍晚。雨季时,空气污染改善,淡水水质提高,植被大幅度增长。但同时也会使土壤养分减少,侵蚀增加。特别在热带地区,夏季的雨季会使疟疾发病率增加[6] 。一些动物在雨季会有适应和生存策略。 另外,前一个旱季也通常导致雨季的粮食短缺,因为作物尚未成熟。

受影响的地区

澳洲达尔文市的一场雷雨

撒哈拉以南非洲热带莽原气候区,包括加纳布基纳法索[7][8]南苏丹[9]厄立特里亚[10]埃塞俄比亚[11]博茨瓦纳都有一个明显的雨季[12]佛罗里达州德克萨斯州南部的热带莽原气候区也有一个雨季[13]季风气候区包括印度次大陆东南亚(包括印度尼西亚菲律宾[14]澳大利亚北部[15]波利尼西亚[16]中美洲[17]墨西哥西部和南部[18]美国西南部的沙漠[19]圭亚那南部[20]巴西东北部[21]等等。

圭亚那北部有两个雨季:一个在早春,另一个在初冬[20]。 在西非,南部有两个雨季,但北部只有一个[22]。 在地中海气候区,包括美国西海岸,意大利希腊地中海海岸线[23]土耳其的雨季都是在冬季[24]。同样,以色列内盖夫沙漠的雨季是从十月延续至五月[25] 。 在地中海气候区和季风气候区之间的边界,索诺兰沙漠共同拥有这两个气候类型的两个雨季[26]
