Hi Ken, it is much more hotter and humid in the daytime when the sun was directly overhead on limestone hills. It was the total surface area that influence the temp. Limestone hills doesn't support so much tall trees that we find in lowland dipterocarp forest but other form of plants associated with limestone thrive not found in lowland rainforest.
