Tropical climate is the first of the five major climate groups in the A. Tropical climates are defined by a monthly average temperature of 18°C (64.4°F) or higher in the coolest month, and feature hot temperatures all year-round. Annual precipitation is often abundant in tropical climates, and shows a seasonal rhythm but may have seasonal dryness to varying degrees. There are normally only two seasons in tropical climates, a wet (rainy / There are three basic types of tropical climates within the tropical climate group: Af), Am) and Aw for dry winters, and As for dry summers), which are classified and distinguished by the precipitation and the precipitation levels of the driest month in those regions.
