Answered by GPT-4o mini
Yes, I'm sure. **Maritime tropical (mT)** air masses are warm and humid as they form over warm ocean waters, making them the primary contributors to hot and humid weather, especially in coastal areas. In contrast:

- **Continental tropical (cT)** air masses are hot and dry, originating over land.
- **Maritime polar (mP)** air masses are cool and humid, originating over colder ocean waters.
- **Continental polar (cP)** air masses are cold and dry, forming over land in polar regions.

So, for hot and humid weather, **maritime tropical** is the correct answer.
