tropical climate
Hot and humid
A tropical climate is the weather pattern found in regions near the equator, characterized by year-round warmth and high humidity.
There are no true winters—temperatures remain consistently hot, typically above 64°F (18°C) even in the coolest months.
Rainfall varies by subtype: some tropical climates have wet and dry seasons, others rain heavily throughout the year.
