Kids on the island cannot make a snowman in winter, as it never gets cold enough to produce snow. The equator is because Jamaica is a tropical island located close to the equator. This is an imaginary line at the centre of the earth. Jamaica is 18 degrees north of the equator. The closer you get to the equator the hotter it becomes.
Temperature changes very little throughout the year.
In fact, it is often said that there are no real seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter may all seem alike as there is very little change in temperature from one season to the next. Sometimes, it may be only a little cooler in winter than it is during the summer time. Jamaica is divided into fourteen different parishes. These divisions are like the different States in America or the counties in England, the cantons in Switzerland, the districts in Uganda, the provinces in China or voivodships in some parts of Europe.
