Tropical Moist Climates (AF) Rainforest
Last Modified: 11/10/08
 
Climate Description

Rainfall is heavy in all months. The total annual rainfall is often more than 250 cm. (100 in.). There are seasonal differences in monthly rainfall but temperatures of 27°C (80°F) mostly stay the same. Humidity is between 77 and 88%.

High surface heat and humidity cause cumulus clouds to form early in the afternoons almost every day.

The climate on eastern sides of continents are influenced by maritime tropical air masses. These air masses flow out from the moist western sides of oceanic high-pressure cells, and bring lots of summer rainfall. The summers are warm and very humid. It also rains a lot in the winter.

  • Average temperature: 18 °C (°F)
  • Annual Precipitation: 262 cm. (103 in.)
  • Latitude Range: 10° S to 25 ° N
  • Global Position: Amazon Basin; Congo Basin of equatorial Africa; East Indies, from Sumatra to New Guinea.
