{'monsoon': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'regions': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'dark clouds form': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'equatorial': [2, 0, 2, 5], 'rain': [7, 1, 2, 16], 'mediterranean': [3, 0, 2, 7], 'morning': [0, 2, 1, 4], 'sea breeze': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'sky': [2, 1, 7, 11], 'sun': [3, 0, 0, 6], 'savannah': [2, 0, 0, 3], 'thunder': [0, 0, 3, 2], 'above passage': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'lightning': [1, 0, 3, 6]}

The region described in the passage is the Equatorial region. The reference to clear and bright mornings, followed by the buildup of heat, dark clouds, and rain with thunder and lightning aligns with the characteristics of the equatorial climate. The equatorial regions, located near the equator, experience high temperatures throughout the year and are known for their frequent rain showers and thunderstorms. The passage`s mention of rain being soon over suggests the relatively quick duration of rain showers in equatorial regions.
