Climate description
A climate moderated by high altitudes and a country isolated from its neighbors by a unique geography. In the north, a desert steppe extends along the Red Sea. The middle of the country consists of mountains and plateaus, where the majority of the population lives and cotton and coffee plantations flourish. The eastern lowlands have a hot desert climate; rain mainly falls between April and September and in the west, a wet season between July and August. Northeastern and southeastern lowlands have high temperatures with unreliable rainfall than can lead to severe droughts.
