The wettest climate in Africa is found in the western equatorial region.
This region experiences high rainfall throughout the year, typically exceeding 2,000 millimeters (79 inches) annually.
Countries like Cameroon, Gabon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are located within this region and experience this consistently wet climate.
The high rainfall in this region is due to the convergence of trade winds near the equator, leading to the formation of a low-pressure zone. This zone, known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), is characterized by frequent thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
