Climate, tropical forests, islands, population and the capital of the islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis:
The islands of St. Kitts and Nevis were the first British colony from Caribbean region and they are separated through a 3 km long strait. Because of the tropical wet climate with its two seasons: the wet season from May to December and the dry season from December to May, the presence of the hurricanes and the tropical storms brought important material damages. A huge part of the tropical forests was deforested in St. Kitts and Nevis to make some place for the arable lands. Even though, the tropical forests still represent an important natural resource of the country and is home to many species of plants and animals.
