Figure 13 highlights the different climate zones
within the country. The wet zones are located in
the South, North and Southeast of Haiti, while
the other regions possess arid and semi-arid
climates, as in the case of Artibonite. Nevertheless,
the altitudinal gradient is very favorable to the
presence of a humid climate throughout the year.
This is the case of the Massif de La Hotte in the
southern region and the Massif La Selle (Southeast
and West).
