\subsubsection{General Description}
Canton's temperate climate, marked by hot summers and the absence of a distinct dry season, results in significant temperature fluctuations influenced by daylight hours. During summer, the city experiences prolonged daylight hours, contributing to warmer temperatures ranging between 25-35 degrees Celsius. This climate characteristic creates an environment conducive to diverse vegetation and agricultural productivity.

Furthermore, Canton's high humidity levels during the summer months add to the perception of higher temperatures, impacting the overall thermal comfort of its inhabitants. The absence of a dry season presents challenges for certain outdoor activities, requiring adaptations to the prevalent climate conditions.

Additionally, daylight variations play a crucial role in energy consumption and building design considerations. Understanding the relationship between daylight availability and temperature variations is essential for optimizing energy efficiency and maintaining comfortable indoor environments.
