Tropical Climate
Places close to the equator where the Sun is hot all the year round are known as the tropics. The weather is usually hot and humid, and during the wet season, it rains heavily and regularly almost every day. The daytime temperature in the tropics rarely falls below 25°C, even in winter, and nights are generally almost as warm. The tropics however, are never as hot as the deserts that lie to the north and south of the tropical climate zone, and the temperature rarely exceeds 35°C. The tropics are home to the world's rainforests, found in Brazil, central Africa, Indonesia and Northern Australia.
