French Guiana is a French overseas department located on the northern coast of South America. It shares its western border with Suriname and is surrounded by the Brazilian state of Amapá. The capital city of French Guiana is Cayenne. The region has a tropical climate, characterised by regular, short, and intense rain showers. Most of the rainfall occurs from January to July. The trade winds provide a cooling effect. Over 80% of French Guiana is covered by tropical rainforest, which has a rich biodiversity.
