The primary factor that distinguishes wet tropical climates from tropical wet and dry climates is the presence of a consistent, year-round rainfall pattern in wet tropical climates, leading to no distinct dry season. In contrast, tropical wet and dry climates experience a marked wet season and a pronounced dry season, resulting in more variability in precipitation throughout the year. This difference in rainfall distribution significantly impacts the vegetation and ecosystems found in each climate type.
Both tropical wet and tropical wet-and-dry climates are found near the equator and typically experience high temperatures year-round. The main difference is the amount of precipitation they receive: tropical wet climates have consistent rainfall throughout the year, while tropical wet-and-dry climates have distinct wet and dry seasons.

Coffee grows in tropical wet climates such as Costa Rica and can also grow in dry climates too.
Some climates found in the US but not in Canada include desert climates (e.g. in Arizona and Nevada), tropical climates (e.g. in Hawaii and Florida), and subtropical climates (e.g. in parts of the southern US like Louisiana and Georgia). These climates are characterized by different temperature and precipitation patterns compared to Canada.

Dry-summer tropical climates are typically found in southern Florida, including the Florida Keys. These areas experience a wet season in the summer and a dry season in the winter, with warm temperatures throughout the year. The climate is characterized by high humidity and frequent rainfall during the wet season.
The amount and distribution of precipitation is the main factor that distinguishes wet tropical climates from tropical wet and dry climates. Wet tropical climates have high and consistent rainfall throughout the year, while tropical wet and dry climates have distinct wet and dry seasons.

In The Online World It Says That, "They are alike because they both receive precipitation; they are different because in tropical wet there are rain forests. In tropical wet-and-dry there are savannas."
Tropical Moist (Rainforest) Wet-Dry Tropical Climates (Savanna) Dry Tropical Climate (Desert Biome) Mediterranean Climate (Chaparral Biome) Highland Climate (Alpine Biome) Grassland Biome** **Not positive if that is correct.
The distribution of annual precipitation
The main difference between wet tropical climates and tropical wet and dry climates lies in their rainfall patterns. Wet tropical climates, also known as tropical rainforest climates, receive high and consistent rainfall throughout the year, with minimal seasonal variation. In contrast, tropical wet and dry climates experience distinct wet and dry seasons, with significant rainfall during the wet season and a marked reduction in precipitation during the dry season. This results in different vegetation and ecosystems in each climate type.
There are two types of tropical climates: tropical wet, and tropical wet/dry. Tropical wet climates have only one season. On the other hand, the tropical wet/dry climate experiences two seasons, the dry season, and the wet season.
