Editing Kinshasa (section)

===Climate===
Under the [[Köppen climate classification]], Kinshasa has a [[tropical wet and dry climate]] (''Aw''). Its lengthy rainy season spans from October through May, with a relatively short dry season, between June and September. Kinshasa lies south of the [[equator]], so its dry season begins around its winter solstice, which is in June. This is in contrast to African cities further north featuring this climate where the dry season typically begins around December. Kinshasa's dry season is slightly cooler than its wet season, though temperatures remain relatively constant throughout the year.
