The climate varies considerably due to the large variation in altitude and relief. The inter-annual fluctuations are large, however, and extremes of flooding and drought are not uncommon. In winter frost is common on the high interior plateau, due to clear skies, a dry atmosphere and absence of wind. (Ref 2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
