The average temperature in the tropical rainforest biome typically ranges from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) throughout the year. This temperature consistency is attributed to the biome’s location near the equator, where direct sunlight is most intense.
One of the defining features of tropical rainforests is their warm climate, which remains relatively stable with minimal seasonal variation. Unlike temperate regions that experience distinct seasons, tropical rainforests maintain a warm environment year-round. The high levels of humidity, often between 77% and 88%, contribute to the lush greenery and diverse ecosystems found in these areas.
The warm temperatures and consistent rainfall—averaging around 2000 to 4500 mm (79 to 177 inches) annually—create an ideal environment for a wide array of plant and animal species. Consequently, tropical rainforests are some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet.
