tropical heat
Jungle climate intensity
Tropical heat is the intense, humid warmth characteristic of regions near the equator.
The phrase evokes not just high temperatures but the oppressive, moisture-laden air that makes tropical climates feel hotter than the thermometer suggests: The tropical heat hit us the moment we stepped off the plane.
Often used to describe any sweltering, sticky conditions.
