The temperate counterpart to the tropical dry season is summer or winter.

[71] Saipan's average annual precipitation is 82.36 inches (2,092 mm), with 67 percent falling during the rainy season. [72] Typhoons frequent the island chain, which can lead to excessive rainfall.

The length and severity of the dry season diminish inland (southward); at the latitude of the Amazon River—which flows eastward, just south of the equatorial line—the climate is Af. East from the Andes, between the dry, arid Caribbean and the ever-wet Amazon are the Orinoco River's Llanos or savannas, from where this climate takes its name.
Within the tropics, distinct, wet and dry seasons emerge due to the movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone or Monsoon trough. [38] The dry season greatly increases drought occurrence, [39] and is characterized by its low humidity, with watering holes and rivers drying up. Because of the lack of these watering holes, many grazing animals ...
Extreme differences are very much evident between the wet and dry seasons in a tropical seasonal forest. The image to the left shows Bhawal National Park in central Bangladesh during the dry season, while the image to the right depicts the same area during monsoon season.
Fronts from mid-latitude storms north of Florida occasionally pass through northern and central parts of the state which bring light and brief winter rainfall. Mid and late winter can become severely dry in Florida. In some years the dry season becomes quite severe and water restrictions are imposed to conserve water. [2]
In the tropics, where seasonal dates also vary, it is more common to speak of the rainy (or wet, or monsoon) season versus the dry season.
