Editing Suriname (section)

===Climate===
Lying [[2nd parallel north|two]] to [[5th parallel north|five degrees north]] of the [[equator]], Suriname has a very hot and wet [[tropical climate]], and temperatures do not vary much throughout the year. Average relative humidity is between 80% and 90%. Its average temperature ranges from {{convert|29|to|34|C}}. Due to the high humidity, actual temperatures are distorted and may therefore feel up to {{convert|6|C-change|0}} hotter than the recorded temperature.

The year has two [[wet season]]s, from April to August and from November to February. It also has two [[dry season]]s, from August to November and February to April.

[[Climate change in Suriname]] is leading to warmer temperatures and more [[extreme weather]] events. As a relatively poor country, its contributions to global [[climate change]] have been limited. Because of the large forest cover, the country has been running a [[carbon dioxide removal|carbon negative]] economy since 2014.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|title=Suriname's climate promise, for a sustainable future|url=https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/01/1056422|website=UN News|date=31 January 2020|access-date=7 June 2020}}</ref>
