Grasses and trees

The savannah is a rolling grassland with

scattered trees and shrubs.

Rainy and dry seasons

Savannahs have two distinct seasons in regards to

precipitation. There is a rainy season in the summer

with around 15 to 25 inches of rain and a dry season in

the winter when only a couple of inches of rain may

fall.

There are often large herds of grazing animals on the savannah

that thrive on the abundance of grass and trees.

Warm

The savannah stays pretty warm all year. It cools

down some during the dry season, but stays warm

and humid during the rainy season.

Weather in the African savannah The savannah has a Monsoonal wet season in the summer,

with some 25 inches of rain per month from the beginning

of May and ending in November, and a dry season in

winter between October and March.
