Editing Cayenne (section)

==Climate==
Under the [[Köppen climate classification]], Cayenne has a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am'') bordering on an [[equatorial climate]] (''Af''). Average high and low temperatures are nearly identical throughout the course of the year, averaging about {{convert|30|C|F}} and {{convert|23|C|F|0}} respectively, although temperatures are somewhat cooler in the wet season than in the dry season. Cayenne sees copious precipitation during the year, with its weather being more strongly affected by the [[Intertropical Convergence Zone]] (ITCZ) than the [[trade winds]]. The city experiences a very lengthy [[wet season]] and a very short [[dry season]] – the dry season covers only August to October, while the wet season covers the remainder of the year. Some precipitation is seen even during the dry season, a trait common in tropical climates. Cayenne averages roughly {{convert|3500|mm|in|-1}} of rain each year.
