Encyclopedic overview

Worldwide zones of tropical rainforest climate (Af). A tropical rainforest climate, in some cases classified as an equatorial climate, is a tropical climate sub-type usually found within 10 to 15 degrees latitude of the equator. There are some other areas at higher latitudes, such as the coast of southeast Florida, United States, and Okinawa, Japan that fall into the tropical rainforest climate category. They experience high mean annual temperatures, small temperature ranges, and rain that falls throughout the year. Regions with this climate are typically designated Af by the Köppen climate classification.

A tropical rainforest climate is typically hot, very humid, and wet with no dry season. The difference in temperature between day and night may be larger than the average change in temperature during the year.
