Weathering therefore occurs more slowly in granite than in layered sedimentary rocks. ... High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions!

Water is a major contribution to weathering. In a dry place, there will be not as much water to erode away small pieces of rocks, rust certain objects, or seep into the cracks of rocks to freeze and expand. Also, molecules in the air move much slower when the temperature is cold compared to when it is warm.
