to tropical forests, with pronounced
seasonal differences: heavier rainfall in the cooler months from
May to August, and sunshine the rest of the year. It does occasionally
snow in Santiago and other parts of central Chile, but the snow
usually melts quickly except in the higher mountains. In the north,
the interior of the Atacama Desert has some of the world’s lowest
amounts of precipitation and highest levels of solar radiation.
