Answer }
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), a huge country in central Africa, the climate is equatorial, hot and humid all year round with no dry season, in the central area crossed by the equator where there is a vast rain forest (the second in the world after the Amazon), or tropical, hot all year round but with a dry season, usually of short duration, in both the areas north and south of the equator. The dry season occurs in opposite periods, from December to February (boreal winter) north of the equator, and from June to September (austral winter) south of the equator.
The rains occur in the form of downpour or thunderstorm (Congo is the country that receives the greatest number of lightning strikes in the world), usually in the afternoon, all year round in the equatorial zone, and in the long rainy season in the two tropical areas.
The country is largely occupied by the huge basin of the Congo River and its tributaries.
Most of the country is located at an altitude of a few hundred metres, between 300 to 800 metres (1,000 to 2,600 feet), which are often sufficient to mitigate the climate a bit; in some areas, such as the southeast, the altitude goes from 800 to 1,300 metres (2,600 to 4,300 ft), while in the easternmost part, near the Rift Valley lakes, there are also high mountain ranges.
