Climate
The south-east and north eastern coastal area have a particular variety of subtropical climate. It was once originally heavily forested, including some of one of the tallest trees in the world. This region is one of the nine most bio-diverse terrestrial habitats, with a higher proportion of endemic species than most other equivalent regions. The area is one of the top regions for marine biodiversity.
The central two-thirds of the province is arid and sparsely inhabited. The only significant economic activity is mining. Annual rainfall averages less than 300 millimetres (8–10 in), most of which occurs in sporadic torrential falls related to cyclone events in summer.
An exception to this is the northern tropical regions. which has an extremely hot monsoonal climate with average annual rainfall ranging from 500 to 1,500 millimetres (20–60 in), but there is a very long almost rainless season from April to November. Snow is rare in the state and typically occurs only in the Yekkwae Range, as it is the only mountain range sufficiently elevated. Snow outside these areas is a major event; it usually occurs in hilly areas of southeastern Anikatia.
