How in the world did you guess that? I think I might have mentioned it in another thread, so I guess you remembered it from that. Otherwise, what tipped you off? It could just as easily be in South America, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, etc.

Anyway, you still have to guess the specific place.

ok. I looked at the list of Tropical rainforest climates on wikipedia, and then saw Saoma on the list. If this is cheating, I'm sorry and I'll make sure to guess in the future. The Dec-Feb max stood out quite a bit, so I knew it wasn't most tropical climates I heard of.

I can't believe the summers there are that cool since it's only about 30 miles from Islamabad. The annual precipitation is also probably some of the highest in Pakistan...although it's not easy to be certain since most of that country is rural.

That's some good detective work. The climate is fairly typical of the South Pacific.

Not good enough detective work to find the exact place.

What sun totals do they get for January/March then, considering they get more rain in those months individually as London gets in a year? Is that inch of rain a day just one run-for-your-life thunderstorm lasting half an hour or something prolonged? I've seen 200mm monthly totals before where it felt like it never stopped raining so can't really imagine 700mm, tropical climate or not.

I've had summer months that had 200+ mm of rain and I remember it being a bit cloudier than usual but irritatingly so. Sunshine % was probably at least 50%.

A whole other world here. Most summer months are under 50% sun but I don't ever remember rain totals that high even in real washout summers. 200mm rain in a month here (autumn/winter only) results in massive flood problems, such as this BBC - Weather - UK Review - November 2009. Differently to how I remember it, that month apparently did get average sun amounts though. It's funny how tame our weather really is.
