Tropical dry forests experience distinct wet and dry seasons, influenced by the movement of trade winds. During the wet season, the prevailing winds blow from the ocean, bringing moisture and rainfall. These winds typically originate from the easterly or southeasterly directions. During the dry season, the trade winds weaken or reverse, leading to reduced rainfall and drier conditions. The winds may shift to a more northerly or northeasterly direction, bringing in drier air from continental regions. The specific wind patterns may vary depending on the geographical location and regional climate conditions of the tropical dry forest.
