What are the characteristics of tropical rain forest climate?
The tropical rainforest climate is also called the equatorial rainy climate and is mainly distributed between 10° north and south latitude on both sides of the equator (near the equator). It is hot and rainy all year round, with the average monthly temperature ranging from 25 to 28°C, and the annual precipitation can reach more than 2,000 mm. The seasons are evenly distributed and there are no dry periods. Mainly found in the Amazon plain of South America, the Congo Basin and the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, most of the Malay Islands in Asia and the southern part of the Malay Peninsula. Distinguished features: high temperature, rainy weather, and small temperature difference throughout the year. High temperature and rainy weather throughout the year. The annual changes in solar radiation are small, and because the sun passes through the zenith twice before and after the vernal and autumnal equinoxes in a year, the annual changes in meteorological elements have bimodal characteristics. The average monthly temperature within a year varies between 24-28°C, and the annual temperature difference generally does not exceed 5°C, especially in the ocean, which usually does not exceed 1°C. The diurnal temperature variation is greater than the annual variation, with the diurnal range reaching 10-15°C. However, the daily maximum temperature rarely exceeds 35℃, and the daily minimum temperature rarely falls below 20℃. Humidity is high throughout the year, with the annual average relative humidity reaching more than 90% in the lower reaches of the Amazon River. Precipitation is abundant, often accompanied by thunderstorms. The annual precipitation reaches 1,500-3,000 mm, and the maximum precipitation in mountainous areas is more than 6,000 mm. For example, the annual precipitation in Daibenja, the foothills of the Cameroon volcano in Africa, reaches 9,470 mm. The seasonal distribution of precipitation is relatively even, but there are still significant differences in individual areas. For example, the Congo River Basin in Africa shows a more tropical rainforest climate than Asia and South America. It is continental, with less rainfall in some places. For example, Libreville in Gabon has a monthly rainfall of 200-300 mm from October to May of the following year, but only 5 mm per month in June and July. In addition, there are also dry and dry areas in the ocean, such as Malden Island in the Pacific Ocean (4° south latitude, 155° west longitude), with an annual precipitation of only 730 mm. Alpine areas with tropical rainforest climates have lower temperatures, but their annual changes are still small. These areas, from the foothills to the top of the mountain, can have climates ranging from tropical rain forests to year-round snow, presenting a variety of natural landscapes from the equator to the poles, with the most colorful vertical distribution. It is divided into two seasons: dry and rain. The weather is monotonous. Controlled by the equatorial ocean air mass throughout the year, the wind is weak and the seasons remain unchanged. It is basically sultry and sunny in the morning, followed by thicker cumulus clouds, followed by torrential rain in the afternoon. After the rain, the weather becomes slightly cooler, and again the next day.
