A tropical climate in the Köppen climate classification is a non-arid climate in which all twelve months have mean
temperatures of at least 18 °C (64 °F). In tropical climates there are often only two seasons: a wet season and a dry
season. Tropical climates are frost-free, and changes in the solar angle are small. In tropical climates temperature
remains relatively constant (hot) throughout the year. All 12 months have average precipitation of at least 60 mm (2.4
in). These climates usually occur within 10° latitude of the equator. This climate is dominated by the doldrums low-pressure
system all year round, so has no natural seasons in terms of thermal and moisture changes.
