The climate of the tropical rain forest is mostly wet and warm. The average rainfall can be anywhere from 125-660 centimeters a year. There is only one season, summer. 50% of its rain is from its own evaporation. The temperature barely ever reaches below 20 degrees Celsius or rises above 34 degrees Celsius. This type of weather is necessary for the many trees, vines, flowers, and other plants to thrive. There are 3 different types of rain forest biome: monsoon, equatorial, and subtropical. The monsoon sometimes does have a dry winter, and the equatorial rain forest is set near the equator, so it receives a year- round tropical climate. Subtropical rain forests are very moist and humid. ======




Tropical rain forests are located in a band around the Equator. They are mostly in the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This 3000 mile wide band is called the “tropics”. So, in other words, tropical rain forests can be found in 4 different continents: South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
