San Salvador is a predominantly Low pressure zone; this affects the climate because it causes more precipitation. The low latitude means that it is most probably in a tropic zone; the elevation makes no sense; the topography is mostly flat, meaning no varying climates; its proximity to water means that it will rain alot and the climate will be relatively mild; the ocean currents contribute to the amount of rain, humidity and change in temperature; the prevailing winds, I cannot fully understand what they do; and the plenty of vegetation decreases the CO2 in the area along with adding more O2, to the weather it makes the temperature milder, like the proximity to water.
