The equator passes almost through the centre of the Archipelago, and, excepting the northern half of the Philippines, nearly the whole of the Archipelago lies within ten degrees of latitude on either side. In consequence warm summer prevails throughout the year and the only change of seasons is that from dry to wet. The whole of this region is within the influence of the monsoons but free from hurricanes.
