How does Madagascar’s climate affect the people’s food, houses, clothes, outdoor activities and general life?
March 4th, 2010 | by admin |
Food: the tropical climate is certainly good for produce of every kind.
Houses: The high temperatures in the hot season can be uncomfortable for people living along the coast, while in the mountainous areas people complain about being too cold.
Clothes: People dress similar to other tropical countries, while the wealthy dress in dressy Western attire.
Outdoor activities: There’s a range of climates in Madagascar, so it depends on where you are. People all over the island play football (soccer). Activities of any kind are comfortable in the most temperate regions in higher elevations. In the south, you should expect it to be hot and humid.
General life: Workers in the rice fields love the natural beauty, but like any country with high temperatures they wish it were a bit cooler. People in the mountains don’t make this complaint, but mountainous areas have less jobs and less opportunities.

its mainly because of vegetation that they cannot grow vegetables , make cotton , && etc.outdoor activities because ; if its too hot then it will be too hot&you will sweat too much&loose all the liquid&other stuff inside of you ; if its too cold then the person can get frostbites if they don’t have warm clothing.
