A tropical climate is a kind of climate typical in the tropics. Köppen's widely-recognized scheme of climate classification defines it as a non-arid climate in which all twelve months have mean temperatures above 64.4 °F (18.0 °C).
Examples of tropical climates
Southern Florida, Hawaii, The Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Seychelles, North Queensland or most of Brazil.
Tropical climates are classified as type A climates, and they cover the largest area of earth (20% of land surface and 43% of ocean surface.) Precipitation is especially wet along the windward sides of mountains where rainfall may exceed 150 inches.
