What defines a tropical climate?

Transcript

A tropical climate is characterized by consistently warm temperatures throughout the year, with all twelve months averaging above 18°C (64°F) in the coolest month. These climates typically experience high humidity and significant rainfall, often structured around two main seasons: a wet and a dry season. The tropics generally receive more solar energy compared to other regions, contributing to rich biodiversity and lush vegetation.
