    Equator Seasons
AI Thread Summary
Regions along the equator experience primarily two seasons: a wet season and a dry season, rather than distinct seasonal changes like those found in temperate zones. Within a latitude of 10° (5° North and 5° South of the Equator), there is generally consistent rainfall and average temperatures around 25°C. However, exceptions exist, particularly in East Africa, where countries like Tanzania and Kenya experience variations due to altitude and air current dynamics.

I actually think there are 2 seasons. A wet season and a dry season.
 
I think no distinct dry reason along the intertropical convergence zone
 
There are general rules & exceptions:
GENERAL RULE:
Along a slice of 10° latitude (5° North & 5°South of the Equator) there's only one season with rains almost every day and temps.on average ~25°C

EXCEPTION:
East Africa:Tanzania & Kenia.Due to altitude and currents of air dinamics.

We have little shade but plenty of wind on my property. The upshot of this is that I have to be judicious in how/where I put up shade-creating barriers in various places around my property to maximise shade without unduly large windage. My property is an irregular polygon and not aligned with the cardinal axes, so it is not easy to tell where the shade will be at a given time. For example, I have put up an umbrella next to our pool, but it can only shade the southish-side of the pool, and...

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
