Negros Occidental
Negros Occidental has a tropical climate due to the fact that it is situated close to the equator, being located at least nine degrees north of it. The northern section of the province has a tropical rainforest (Köppen: Af) climate, whereas the southern portion has a tropical monsoon (Köppen: Am) climate. Mount Kanlaon itself, along with its higher-elevated slopes, are classified as having a dry-winter subtropical highland climate (Köppen: Cwb) due to their higher elevations, allowing for a significantly cooler temperature compared to the province as a whole.
