Tropical rainforest climate zones (Af). Tropical rainforests are dense and warm rainforests with high rainfall typically found between 10° north and south of the Equator. They are a subset of the tropical forest biome that occurs roughly within the 28° latitudes (in the torrid zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn).
Worldwide zones of tropical rainforest climate (Af). A tropical rainforest climate or equatorial climate is a tropical climate sub-type usually found within 10 to 15 degrees latitude of the equator. There are some other areas at higher latitudes, such as the coast of southeast Florida, United States, and Okinawa, Japan that fall into the ...
Tropical climate is the first of the five major climate groups in the Köppen climate classification identified with the letter A. Tropical climates are defined by a monthly average temperature of 18 °C (64 °F) or higher in the coolest month, featuring hot temperatures and high humidity all year-round.

The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter.
World map with the intertropical zone highlighted in crimson Areas of the world with tropical climates. The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the Equator.They are defined in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.9″ (or 23.43608°) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.9″ (or 23.43608°) S.
Tropical forests are forested ecoregions with tropical climates – that is, land areas approximately bounded by the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, but possibly affected by other factors such as prevailing winds. Borneo rainforest. Some tropical forest types are difficult to categorize. While forests in temperate areas are readily categorized ...
Hawaiian tropical rainforests. The Hawaiian tropical rainforests are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion in the Hawaiian Islands. They cover an area of 6,700 km 2 (2,600 sq mi) in the windward lowlands and montane regions of the islands. [ 1 ] Coastal mesic forests are found at elevations from sea level to 300 m (980 ft). [ 2 ]
