Understanding Tropical Rainforest Climate: Characteristics and Locations

Tropical rainforests are found within 10° north or south of the equator, characterized by high annual rainfall typically ranging from 200 cm to 400 cm, with Singapore averaging 230 cm. The climate is marked by high humidity levels between 77% and 88%, significantly influenced by plant transpiration. Daily temperatures range from 30-35ºC during the day and drop to 20-25ºC at night. This unique climate is a product of low air pressure at the equator, which facilitates the influx of moisture-laden air from surrounding oceans, resulting in the lush biodiversity of tropical rainforests.

  1. Tropical CLIMATE Tropical Rainforest GuoYulong Lee Jit Ping Lim An Guan Yap Kang Zheng

  2. WHAT IS THE CLIMATE - Within 10° North or South of Equator - Has a high annual rainfall. Typically around 200 cm to 400 cm. In comparison, Singapore’s average annual rainfall is 230cm. - Humiditiy 77-88% (due to plant transpiration) - Temperature during day: 30-35ºC - Temperature at night: 20-25ºC WHERE ARE TROPICAL CLIMATES LOCATED

  3. Humidity • 77-88% • Tropical Rainforests are well known for high relative humidity • At the equatorial region, air pressure is low • As air moves from high to low pressure areas, surrounding air flows into tropical region • Air brings in water vapour from oceans, increasing humidity • Diagram explaining reason why there is such high humidity • 85 degrees F= 29.444… degrees C • 75 degrees F=23.888… degrees C

  4. Humidity

  5. Temperature and Rainfall • Temperature during day: 30-35ºC • Temperature at night: 20-25ºC • 200-400 cm yearly • Singapore 230cm yearly

  6. IN CONCLUSION… • Located 10 degrees North and South of Equator • Has a high annual rainfall. Typically around 200 cm to 400 cm. In comparison, Singapore’s average annual rainfall is 230cm. • Humiditiy 77-88% (due to plant transpiration) • Temperature during day: 30-35ºC • Temperature at night: 20-25ºC OF WISDOM, WRITE DOWN
