A) The ITCZ follows the sun in that the position varies seasonally. It moves north in the Northern Hemisphere summer and south in the Northern Hemisphere winter. Therefore, the ITCZ is responsible for the wet and dry seasons in the tropics.

B) The Province has the highest rainfall variation of any of the South African provinces, with a low of 60mm and a peak of 3345mm per year with most areas receiving between about 350 and 1 000 mm per year.
