Answer 2

Most people think all rain forests have warm, sunny weather, but they're wrong. Only the rain forests that are located in the tropics, or ten degrees within the equator have year-round warm weather. Subtropical rain forests that lay outside of the tropics have seasonal changes in their weather. There are a couple of types of rain forests. and they are categorized by the types of weather they have during the year and where they are located. The names of these rain forests are monsoon, equatorial, and subtropical.

The tropical rain forest is a very wet environment, as you hear from the name that contains "rain". The total rainfall for the year is between 1500 and 2500 mm. There is no dry season. Rain falls nearly every day. The temperature during the day is around 30ºC - 35ºC. At night it drops to between 20ºC - 2 5 C. There is a little difference between the warmest and the coolest months. The relative humidity is always high. This type of climate in the tropical rain forest is known as equatorial climate.

The result of all of this rain, is that the rain forest is filled head to toe with lush green vegetation. Many trees in the rain forest have canopies on them, providing shade for the animals and plants. The canopies help shield the plants and animals from the scorching sunlight. The rain forests are very humid due to the warm sunlight, rain and the canopies shading over the plants keeps in the moisture.
