An area of tropical monsoon climate is a type of climate that corresponds to the Köppen climate classification category "Am". Tropical monsoon climates have monthly mean temperatures above 18 °C in every month of the year and a dry season. Tropical monsoon climates is the intermediate climate between the drier Aw. A tropical monsoon climate, has its driest month seeing on average less than 60 mm, but more than 100 −; this latter fact is in direct contrast to a tropical savanna climate, whose driest month sees less than 60 mm of precipitation and less than 100 − of average monthly precipitation. In essence, a tropical monsoon climate tends to either see more rainfall than a tropical savanna climate or have less pronounced dry seasons. Additionally, a tropical monsoon climate tends to see less variance in temperatures during the course of the year than a tropical savanna climate; this climate has a driest month which nearly always occurs at or soon after the "winter" solstice for that side of the equator.

There are two versions of a tropical monsoon climate: Less pronounced dry seasons. Regions with this variation of the tropical monsoon climate see copious amounts of rain during the wet season in the form of frequent thunderstorms. However, unlike most tropical savanna climates, a sizeable amount of precipitation falls during the dry season. In essence, this version of the tropical monsoon climate has less pronounced dry seasons than tropical savanna climates. Extraordinarily rainy wet seasons and pronounced dry seasons; this variation features pronounced dry seasons similar in length and character to dry seasons observed in tropical savanna climates. However, this is followed by a sustained period of extraordinary rainfall. In some instances, up to 1,000 mm of precipitation is observed per month for two or more consecutive months. Tropical savanna climates do not see this level of sustained rainfall. Tropical monsoon climates are most found in South and Central America. However, there are sections of South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, North America, Australia that feature this climate.

The major controlling factor over a tropical monsoon climate is its relationship to the monsoon circulation. The monsoon is a seasonal change in wind direction. In Asia, during the summer there is an onshore flow of air. In the “winter” an offshore air flow is prevalent; the change in direction is due to the difference in the way land heat. Changing pressure patterns that affect the seasonality of precipitation occur in Africa though it differs from the way it operates in Asia. During the high-sun season, the Intertropical convergence zone induces rain. During the low-sun season, the subtropical high creates dry conditions; the monsoon climates of Africa, the Americas for that matter, are located along tradewind coasts.

Joseph Paganon was a French chemical engineer and politician. He was Minister of Public Works in 1933–34, for a few days in 1935, he helped provide infrastructure needed by the alpine tourist industry in his native department of Isère, introduced reforms to railway regulations. He was Minister of the Interior in 1935–36 during a period when France was struggling to manage an influx of refugees from Nazi Germany, tensions were rising in the French colony of Algeria. Joseph Paganon was born on 19 March 1880 in Isère, his parents were Alexandre Paganon from Laval, teachers in Vourey. He spent his childhood in Sainte-Agnès, a small mountain village, He studied at the Lycée Polyvalent Vaucanson in Grenoble, he won a scholarship that let him study at the Faculty of Science in Lyon and the School of Chemistry. He graduated with a diploma as a Bachelor of Science. Paganon moved to Paris to work as a secretary at the head office of the Poulenc frères company, while studying under Louis Bouveault at the Sorbonne.

He earned a doctorate in Chemistry with a thesis on artificial silk. This won him a travel scholarship to Germany. There he was attached to the French embassy in Berlin and attended courses of Hermann Emil Fischer at the Faculty of Science. After returning to Paris he became a contributor to the journal Le Temps, writing on economic and social topics. In 1906 Paganon joined the office of the Minister of Agriculture. In 1908 he was appointed adviser on foreign trade, he was secretary general of the National Committee of Advisers on Foreign Trade. Paganon became chief of staff to Jules Pams, Minister of Agriculture from 1911 to 1913. During World War I he served in the chasseurs before being attached as a chemist to the Ministry of Armament, with the status of artillery officer. In 1917 Paganon was recalled to the Ministry of Agriculture, where he was chief of staff until 1918; as an officer, he was military attaché to Georges Clemenceau. Soon after the war Pams, now Minister of the Interior, appointed him chief of staff to that Ministry.

He was elected mayor of the commune of Isère. Paganon ran unsuccessfully for election to the legislature on 16 November 1919. On 11 May 1924 he was elected deputy for the Isère, he joined the Radical Socialist group in the chamber. He was elected to the general council of Isère representing Goncelin in 1925, he was reelected deputy in April–May 1928 for the first district of Grenoble, was again elected on 1 May 1932. On 3 June 1932 he was appointed under-secretary of state for Foreign Affairs in the third cabinet of Édouard Herriot, holding office until 14 December 1932. In this role he participated in the Geneva talks of June 1932 on German reparations for World War I damages. On 31 January 1933 Paganon was appointed Minister of Public Works in the first cabinet of Édouard Daladier, he retained this post in the cabinets of Albert Sarraut and Camille Chautemps and the second cabinet of Daladier, which fell on 7 February 1934. As Minister of Public Works he reclassified 40,000 kilometres of roads into the national network.

He began work on the Sautet dams. In Isère he created or improved tourist routes, including access to Villard-Notre-Dame, the link from Uriage to Allevard called the "Balcon de Belledonne". In the mid-1930s the Alpe d'Huez resort consisted of a few cabins and chalets, one of them owned by Paganon, reached by a zigzag gravel road. Paganon anticipated a boom in winter sports and authorized construction of a new road up to the resort. Fourteen companies shared each building 1 kilometre of the road; the ski resort soon began to thrive. In response to requests from the railway companies to allow greater competition with road haulage companies, Paganon introduced what became known as the "Paganon amendment", The amendment to the act of 1921 was dated 8 July 1933, it gave the government greater power, allowed for various changes to earlier acts to improve efficiency. The effect was a thorough overhaul of railway operations, tariffs and infrastructure; the reform did little to improve the financial condition of the railways, which continued to lose money.

Paganon was unable to resolve the problem of coordinating rail and road haulage without favoring one or the other. Paganon was briefly Minister of Public Works in the ephemeral cabinet of Fernand Bouisson from 1–4 June 1935. On 17 November 1935 he was elected senator for the Isère in a by-election. Paganon was appointed Minister of the Interior in the fourth cabinet of Pierre Laval on 7 June 1935, he had to deal with growing numbers of refugees from Eastern Europe. The French position on the High Commission for Refugees and Other of the League of Nations was ambiguous. France wanted a weak organization that would not interfere with French rights to refuse visas and expel refugees, a strong organization that would force other countries to take more refugees in the Americas. Paganon observed that the HCR wanted to get France to absorb the refugees in the country so the HCR could concentrate on placing the refugees who were continuing to flee from Germany, he felt this was "unfavorable toward those rare countries like our own, which had committed the imprudence of welcoming foreigners too generously."

However, he agreed that France could not return refugees to countries where their lives were in danger. Paganon began to explore the possibility of placing refugees in farming settlements in the south of France. In November he issued two circulars that stated that refugees and stateless foreigners could not be expelled unless they had committed crimes or subversive acts; this did not prevent expulsions, as the Sûreté Nationale refused to
