Most places that have this climate are found at the outer margins of the [[tropical]] zone from the low teens to the mid-20s latitudes, but occasionally an inner-tropical location (e.g., [[San Marcos, Antioquia]], [[Colombia]]) also qualifies. Actually, the [[Caribbean sea|Caribbean]] coast, eastward from the [[Gulf of Urabá]] on the [[Colombia]]–[[Panamá]] border to the [[Orinoco River]] delta, on the [[Atlantic Ocean]] (about 4,000&nbsp;km), have long dry periods (the extreme is the ''BSh'' climate (see below), characterised by very low, unreliable precipitation, present, for instance, in extensive areas in the [[:es:Guajira Península|Guajira]], and [[Coro region|Coro]], western [[Venezuela]], the northernmost peninsulas in South America, which receive <300&nbsp;mm total annual precipitation, practically all in two or three months).
