Résumé anglais Abstract. — The Great Comore is a tropical Island in Indian Ocean. Coming in the rainy season, it often supports dryness. This island has a maritime tropical climate with two seasons and goes through a « pseudo- Monsoon », that may Lapp en later because of intense activity of the south hemisphere. Inroads of polar air-masses regenerate the anticyclones and prevent the. formation of the south african's hibernal depression. So, the Z.C.I.T. remains in latitude 10" south and the dry season (or the intermediate season) subsists over Comoros'Islands. The recent volcanic structure of the Great Comore increases dryness, because of the lack of springs : water infiltrates immediatly.
