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.
