tropical weather

Hot and humid

Tropical weather refers to the climate conditions found in regions near the equator, characterized by consistently warm temperatures, high humidity, and distinct wet and dry seasons rather than the four seasons of temperate zones.

Heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and the potential for hurricanes or typhoons define much of tropical weather: The tropical weather made the afternoon downpours predictable.
