<P> Tropical savanna climates are most commonly found in Africa , Asia and northern South America . The climate is also prevalent in sections of Central America , northern Australia , the Pacific Islands and southern North America , specifically in sections of Mexico and the state of Florida in the United States , and some islands in the Caribbean . Most places that have this climate are found at the outer margins of the tropical zone , but occasionally an inner - tropical location ( e.g. , San Marcos , Antioquia , Colombia ) also qualifies . Similarly , the Caribbean coast , eastward from the Gulf of Urabá on the Colombia -- Panamá border to the Orinoco river delta , on the Atlantic Ocean ( ca. 4,000 km ) , have long dry periods ( the extreme is the BSh climate ( see below ) , characterised by very low , unreliable precipitation , present , for instance , in extensive areas in the Guajira , and Coro , western Venezuela , the northernmost peninsulas in South America , which receive < 300 mm total annual precipitation , practically all in two or three months ) . This condition extends to the Lesser Antilles and Greater Antilles forming the Circumcaribbean dry belt . The length and severity of the dry season diminishes 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 arid Caribbean and the ever - wet Amazon are the Orinoco river llanos or savannas , from where this climate takes its name . </P>
