Ceramic and porcelain materials play crucial roles in the building industry, notably in roofing, flooring, cladding, and decorative applications. Their mechanical performance and durability are heavily influenced by local climatic conditions, especially in regions with high humidity and rainfall such as Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. This study examines the adaptation of ceramic and porcelain building materials to the tropical monsoon climate in Akwa Ibom. Through literature review and climate analysis, we identify climatic stressors affecting performance, adaptation strategies in material selection and design, and implications for sustainable construction practices. Informed by climate resilience literature and Nigerian construction studies, this research contributes to improved material suitability and sustainable building practices in coastal tropical environments.
