WHERE ARE TROPICAL CLIMATES LOCATED
- 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
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
Humidity
Temperature and Rainfall
• Temperature during day: 30-35ºC
• Temperature at night: 20-25ºC
• 200-400 cm yearly
• Singapore 230cm yearly
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
