I'm from Indonesia, the edge of a rainforest is only 30 minutes walk on foot. Yes there are lots of banana with many varieties ranging from commonly found to the exotics favoured by the locals (including the red sweet banana). But the bad habbits found in our people done damage to our own nature, plastic waste are everywhere is just one of our problem.
for me, moving outside of the tropics was quite the experience lol, i just thought: wow, the seasons are actually real, theyre not an invention of hollywood. and seeing leaves trees change colors and lose their leaves was quite new. i love the tropics, i really do. and central america has a certain magic that is difficult to experience somewhere else. the atlantic is super humid and rainy and the pacific is dry and has no very little rivers. both are very hot, the humidity makes the heat worse, but the atlantic has more marked "seasons", so it actually has a wider temperature range than the pacific. and to have both within 400 km of each other is quite unique
@@Geodiode jaja no, I'm Honduran, and I also lived in Nicaragua. Honduras is more populated towards the Atlantic and Nicaragua is more populated on the Pacific, so I've lived both hurricanes and earthquakes. Although earthquakes are not because of climate but because of the Pacific ocean, but yeah, I quite like it here
@@Geodiode the ones cheating are Costa Rica and Panama!! Both coasts are do close there I'm jealous. I imagine the climates must merge over there bc the sea is so close from both ends
Used to live in Hawai'i! Technically subtropical, and being on O'ahu it definitely didn't rain all the time, but I loved walking up the road from my house into increasingly wetter (lusher) forest. Also didn't suck being able to pluck fruits from the trees on any given hike
As someone who's been living in a rainforest (Borneo, Indonesia) my entire life, I can attest to the fact that biodiversity here is incredible. Place a wooden board flat on the ground outside for a few days, and when you flip it, you'll find an entire ecosystem thriving below that board. I swear to God sometimes I feel like this place is hell due to the temperature, humidity, and the bugs.
I love the ridiculous variety of zones you find on Hawaii-from Af in the northeast all through most A-type climates to Bsh on the leeward side (iirc even a tiny sliver of outright Bwh) and all the way through to ET at the summits. All this on one relatively small island, crazy
GeoDiode I was on Maui recently and it’s not quite as varied as the Big Island but it’s really fascinating seeing the variations between the very dry/scrubby semi-desert where I was staying vs the greener windward slopes (trending towards outright jungle around Hana), the cooler upcountry and the moonscape atop Haleakalā.
@@Geodiode nah I really live in south east asia. Philippines. We only get burnt skin and wet body here. If you know what I mean about the weather. And complains are true because heat stroke and water shortage due to the intense heat. But it does rain here during the ber months. At the summer its quite rare but it can also switch places. Summer we got rain and cold seasons we get more sun Sorry im a talkative person
I live in a tropical-rain-forest-climate city but it borders with the tropical monsoon climate, so we have rain throughout the year but in June, July, and August we have a quite little amount rain, and it tends to be much sunnier in those three months compared to the other months, and I now study in a college where its city has a tropical savanna climate, so yeah I can see the difference of the amount rain and it is a very interesting to know✨
actually, there is a distinct dry season climate in Malaysia, particularly in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. this dry season usually happens during the winter months of January and February when the cities like Penang and Langkawi are arid. this is because of the rain shadow protected by the Titiwangsa Mountains during the winter north-east monsoon typically happens between november and february.
Thanks for sharing these videos about climate! I visited some parts of Brazilian Amazon and the weather is practically the same all the time. Hot, too wet and rainy. Sometimes there are dry episodes, which lasts some weeks, but I think it depends on other factors like el nino, la nina or even microclimate factors.

Hello again... I can't stop watching these videos... they all are amazingly beautiful, and as you said "enlightening". Thanks once again for take your time and effort for do such an invaluable work for people whom love the earth, the climate and nature. I live in the Dominican Republic and you mentioned it, and as I saw you included some videos of my country. We here in the torric zone lie into the Af, Am, Aw, and Cwb, Cfb.... the Dominican Republic has the most variety of climates and landscapes in the Caribbean due to the mountains we haved that reaches over 3,000 meters above the sea level. See you in another video or comment!
@@Geodiode Gracias amigo!! :) Yes! Here we have many mountains, lots of pines there. Unfortunately most of the population lives in the humid and hot areas, just a few towns enjoy the pleasant climate of the highlands. Btw I loved the Oceanic climate episode, I am a cloudy sky, rain, fog, and overcast skies lover. I really enjoy the lack of sun! If I used to live in England for sure I won't complain about the weather. Mean while my friend, stay cool! :)
@@Geodiode Hi B.J. Ranson! Yes that's right, but here mostly of the population is in heat zone. It's really interesting that Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia have their capital in the highlands and others countries of the intertropical zone of America have many cities in the highlands zone. Thanks a lot for replying and keeping in touch. I'll be glad to keep contact with you and who knows collaborate for another project! Meanwhile stay Alive!!! :)
@@Geodiode Hello my friend! I will try to investigate, but I really think that one possible reason is that we don't have greats plateaux in our highlands to support a big city, just valleys. Meanwhile... stay dry!!
Well, yeah. Having been born in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), I always wondered, as a child and as a teen, what that 'winter' from american TV felt like. We don't get to experience different seasons in there. It's mainly Summer or Brutally Hot Summer throughout all year. Having experienced temperatures as high as 43C and year round stickiness, since air is REALLY humid, well, I never really liked the climate myself. As a young adult I then moved to Florianópolis (Brazil), a city much more to the south of the country. Being for the first time in a Subtropical climate, I got to experience actual winters (lowest temp there is around 6C, doesn't actually snow), even though it's an island. I now love and surround myself with tropical plants in the apartment, building my private urban jungle, but can't withstand the actual climate they thrive on haha. I visit Rio de Janeiro several times every year and it's always one of both: scorchingly sunny or heavily rainy, and always hot, be it day or night.
its funny because a subtropical climate is almost tropical just a bit cooler also with no snow still can get tropical during summer but cool during winter
Fun fact, Hawaii’s capital of honolulu actually has a borderline semi arid(BSh) climate very close to a tropical savanna climate(As) with a summer dry season rather than the typical winter dry season common in tropical savannna climates
I was in a tropical savannah (Aw on Koppen Climate) in Mexico during a vacation in 2019 (yucatan peninsula). I went in August but I don't doubt the temperature will be much different in December or February. However living in florida, I kinda like the heat and am used to it after a while.
Can't help but notice the omission of Australia's substantial tropical and monsoonal rainforest, including the Daintree - oldest in the world at 180 million yrs and 20 million yrs older than the Amazon.
Hey, @@Geodiode, I loved your series! I was actually going to ask you a question regarding this, since it confused me. Initially, I thought I lived in a tropical monsoon climate. The rain patterns are spot on as you describe (very noticeable alternating wet and dry seasons), so the description just made sense. Upon further research, however, I read that the criteria for Af is that at least 2.4 inches (60mm) of rain falls every month. My town's driest month is typically February, which averages 2.5 inches of rain; this puts my town barely over the minimum. Furthermore, I've read the climate here described as a "trade wind tropical rainforest climate," which can allow Af to exist abnormally distant from the equator; you described a similar phenomenon appearing in Hawaii. The climate does seem rather varied upon the season for your description of Af, however. I'd be curious if you could clear up this confusion for me. Once again, thank you so much for the greatly informative series!
0:49 This building is called Ulun Danu Temple which is located in Bedugul, Bali, Indonesia. Bali is not included in the tropical rain forest climate type. Bali is included in the climate type Aw or Savannah Climate. we can find the dry season in Bali from April to September. even near Bedugul, one can find the Eka Karya Botanical Garden which collects upland plants typical of tropical dry climates. The tropical rain forest climate in southern Indonesia is only found in the central and western parts of Java Island.
Hi, thanks for this wonderful series on your channel. I cannot find a better explanation anywhere else. Koppen's classification was tough for me to understand.. Can you please make a series on the Trewartha & Thornthwaite too? Difference between these three.? & PLEASE keep your voice louder than the music. Again thank you for this wonderful series. 🙂
I live in Brazil in the state of São Paulo and I remember my trips to the beach that passed through the Atlantic Mountains crossing the Atlantic Forest, and there were kilometers and kilometers of pure forest and more forest
I lived in Singapore for 6-years and rather enjoyed the tropical climate. Sure, you had to be prepared for the mid-day heat and afternoon thundershower but I much prefer that to the cold and snow.
Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, two US cities in Florida, experience a Tropical Rainforest type of climate, as well as Hilo in Hawaii (still US), Manaus in Brazil, Leticia in Colombia, Iquitos in Peru, as well as a host of other cities throughout the Caribbean and the East Indies as well.
hai..im a teacher from malaysia..can i edit your video by adding subtitle just for educational purpose at school..bcoz most of my student didnt undertand english
@@Geodiode thank you very much..i want to add subs in all your videos about climate bcoz this topic are the most important topic in geography for 2nd year primary school syllabus
A car would generally be slower in a tropical forest and faster in the Gobi Desert, for the following reasons: • Tropical forest: Frequent rainfall, high humidity, and dense vegetation make roads wet and slippery, leading to slower driving speeds. The terrain in tropical forests can also be uneven, muddy, and full of obstacles like tree roots or dense undergrowth. These factors require more cautious driving, especially if the vehicle is off-road or on poorly maintained roads. • Gobi Desert: The Gobi Desert is dry and arid with very little rainfall, so the roads are typically dry and stable. While sand dunes or loose gravel might slow down a vehicle in off-road situations, desert conditions usually allow for faster driving compared to a tropical forest. However, extreme heat in the Gobi could affect vehicle performance over time, like tire pressure or engine overheating, but it doesn’t typically slow down traffic as much as wet conditions in a forest would. In summary, cars tend to be slower in a tropical forest due to wet, challenging conditions, while they can generally go faster in the Gobi Desert, barring issues with heat or sand.
Hi I'm from Newcastle, Australia, and was wondering if you knew if Australia has any true tropical Af climate. There is a sliver of tropical climate in Far North Queensland called the Wet Tropics, and just south of Cairns around Innisfail some say is Af climate. However other sources say it's not true tropical climate, but is seasonal Am tropical climate. Do you know if indeed that little region is Af? Also, is the Daintree rainforest Af or Am, which is the tropical rainforest just north of Cairns? Great videos by the way.
Another thing I've been wondering for a while, is which of the big three (Amazon, Congo, Borneo) Af tropical rainforests is the most deeply tropical, bio-diverse Af climate? If you go off which gets the most rain, if I'm not mistaken, the Amazon seems to have better rain figures than the other two, especially the region to the west of the Andes in Columbia. And the Amazon seems to have bigger rivers which might also be an indication of more rain. Although if looking at bio-diversity according to range of evolution, the Amazon doesn't have primates as intelligent as the Congo. Congo has chimpanzees which are the most intelligent species. In terms of which rainforest is the most bio-diverse with the most number of species of flora and fauna in a given acre of rainforest, some sources I've searched on say it's Borneo, then others say it's the Congo, while others say it's the Amazon!
@@Geodiode I think maybe Cairns itself is supposed to be just outside that tropical sliver, with the sliver itself beginning on the south side of Cairns. Try the temp and rainfall graphs for Babinda, which is definitely within that sliver. Also could you link that updated 2018 map?
@@Geodiode Much appreciated. Btw that's a real habit of my own, forgetting to include a promised link. Always do that lol. Look forward to your next video and do plan to watch more of your past ones.
Oh, have you got any thoughts on which of the three major Af zones (1. Borneo/South-East Asia, 2. Amazon, 3. Congo) is the most biodiverse/deeply tropical? What I mean by "deeply tropical" is which of the three regions is generally the furthest on the Af spectrum. They all contain Af climate, but there would also have to be a spectrum within the Af climate. If you're not sure off the top of your head, would you know how I could go about finding out? I've done searches on it but have come up with conflicting conclusions. Are the highest rainfall figures the primary factor for determining which region is the furthest on the tropical spectrum, or can you get more biodiverse areas that have less rainfall? I have looked at that a bit and I think the Amazon contains the highest rainfall figures out of the three tropical rainforest regions, and the Congo the least. Although another source said Borneo had the most biodiversity. So it's hard to get a straight answer. I don't know if it's always the case, but my understanding of the definition of "biodiverse" is how many species of flora and fauna are within a given acre of rainforest. And that the more biodiverse the rainforest is, the further on the tropical spectrum it is. I hope I've communicated what I'm trying to say good enough for you to understand where I'm coming from and what I'm asking, I'm not exactly a climatology major and I'm sure a climatology specialist would communicate the question a lot better using specialist terminology XD
@@Geodiode Thanks a lot! I didn't realize I was moving out of climatology there but it does make sense. Nonetheless you've given me a lot of food for thought. Complex factors become more important to biodiversity above 2000mm rainfall, that is interesting. I bet the isolated exposed islands of South East Asia vs the sheltered continental rainforests of Amazon and Congos has some sort of bearing for or against greater biodiversity. That characteristic would be something to look into. I suppose the sea salt breeze might make for a drier rainforest than the sheltered rainforest that swelters in the middle of a continent. Well just a guess. From what I understand there are tropical rainforests on the coast although it doesn't hold as easily as inland. That might encourage a more hardcore rainforest in the Amazon and Congo regions. The rivers in the Amazons are very large compared to South East Asia, seems to collect and retain H2O a lot better. Just based on this logic, on the island vs continental aspect I'm guessing towards the more sheltered continental rainforests being more hardcore biodiverse rainforests. A humid oven is what the tropics thrives on which I suppose is why most rainforest thrives inland away from the coast. Look at the Amazon and Congo rainforests, it congregates way inland. Complex topic indeed!
i live in this zone and in my area i can predict rain usually it rains between 1pm-10pm and it rains almost everyday for a week then it switches to it rarely rains for a week then it rains again and repeat also in my area there is a bit of a dry season where its a bit more drier
Singapore has Af, so we see rain all the time! But we see more rain during the northern meteorological winter because of monsoonal winds from the South China Sea. Its also very hot too all the time!
for most of my life i lived in Hawaii on the big island. however i did not live in hilo i lived in kona on the opposite side of hilo. it rained a lot though. two years ago i moved to Arizona. the complete opposite clement of Hawaii, but I'm managing .
GeoDiode kona isn’t as dry as you would think knowing that Hilo get the most of our rain ... the humidity is pretty much the same on both sides of the island. And yes my skin is cracking major over here 😅
Western ghats in india also have tropical rainforests, they are considered one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in the world ,yes and we do have lots of coconuts and bananas in west coast of India.
I live in southern India ,somewhat sandwiched between coconut trees and rain forests,it’s true the forest cover has decreased drastically with considerable efforts is being taken now,with population wise too,now india being the most populous,hidden factor is almost one third of it is refugees and immigrants,while watching your videos I thought it’s high time to promote hydroponics and soil less agriculture
I love tropics, I would be there. I live in Italy and i hate when it’s winter because the temperature goes like 3ºC . It’s too cold for me and days are too short.
GeoDiode I’m from Centre Italy. Yeah it’s good that sometimes fresh air comes during the year, but the problem is that I really hate winter because days are shorter and make me feel sad and a little bit depressed and with the cold air my skin becomes dry and irritated. That’s why i love tropics: winter doesn’t exist! But I have to admit that here in Italy summer is beautiful too :) P.S. Thank you for these videos!
@@vapervop That's called Seasonal Depression, some people can't help but be depressed by a particular climate. It happens a lot with people being depressed by cloudy wintery weather.
@@Geodiode I don't like the winter rainfall pattern of Mediterranean climates. Dry winters and rainy summers are better than dry summers and rainy winters but the best is year round rainfall.
I really wish we could trade place. I live in the tropics and it's hot and humid all year round. I wish I could live in a place with 4 seasons and the temperature always drops to a single digit in winter. I've always wanted to feel "the real cold" like most people on earth
I dont get if tropical climates are depended on constant year a around hot temperatur then how come for example the the canaria Islands and coastal cities of morocco have a dry climate although the year around temperatur is between 20 and 35 degrees Celcius and surrounded by sea?? I dont quit get it. Can someone explain ? :)
Because the precipitation total in the parts of the Canary Islands that your referring to don’t meet the minimum requirements to be part of the A climates.
i kinda wish my country (pakistan)had a true tropical climate af or am although we do get tropical tempratures near the coast its arid and considered bwh or bwk. the most similar to the tropical climate we have is tropical desert and subtropical humid cwa climate
Yup its warm or wet here in singapore but now its 22degrees celcius i wondered what causes the cooler temperatures..is it the same as how snow is form in countries with 4 seasons?
@@Geodiode its usually cooler during december/january, today is 23celcius at 10am now. Last 2 days was 21.1celcius in the central part of SG should be at night
@@Geodiode so the process is not the same as how snow n winter is formed in other countries but not in SG cos we are on the equator? And yup 30c is not too bad but impossible for sports in my opinion. I usually play football at night
Equatorial climate and tropical rainforest climate are closely related, both occurring near the equator. However, they're not identical. Equatorial climate describes the broader climatic conditions near the equator, characterized by high temperatures and humidity year-round. Tropical rainforest climate specifically refers to areas within the equatorial zone with dense rainforests, experiencing abundant and consistent rainfall, often exceeding 2000 millimeters annually. While tropical rainforest climate is a subset of equatorial climate, not all equatorial regions have dense rainforests, differentiating the two terms.
Medellin is a hybrid of this climate with Subtropical Highland influences (it's at 1,500m altitude), with a noticeable series of dry seasons. Go a bit further down the valley to the coast and you'll be in firm Tropical Rainforest though.
@@Geodiode yes, i love this form of tropical rainforest climate. The city of eternal spring. I live in Kolkata, India having tropical wet and dry climate (Aw). The summers are worst here. It's 38°c now with high humidity.
Marine currents generally flow in the same direction as the wind, since it is the effect of the wind on the water masses that causes their movement. The more intense the action of the wind on the water, the more intense the current will be.

Yes there are lots of banana with many varieties ranging from commonly found to the exotics favoured by the locals (including the red sweet banana). But the bad habbits found in our people done damage to our own nature, plastic waste are everywhere is just one of our problem.

Feet/touched snow before u meant? Cos i've seen snow on tv

We here in the torric zone lie into the Af, Am, Aw, and Cwb, Cfb.... the Dominican Republic has the most variety of climates and landscapes in the Caribbean due to the mountains we haved that reaches over 3,000 meters above the sea level. See you in another video or comment!
@@Geodiode Gracias amigo!! :) Yes! Here we have many mountains, lots of pines there. Unfortunately most of the population lives in the humid and hot areas, just a few towns enjoy the pleasant climate of the highlands. Btw I loved the Oceanic climate episode, I am a cloudy sky, rain, fog, and overcast skies lover. I really enjoy the lack of sun! If I used to live in England for sure I won't complain about the weather. Mean while my friend, stay cool! :)
@@Geodiode Hi B.J. Ranson! Yes that's right, but here mostly of the population is in heat zone. It's really interesting that Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia have their capital in the highlands and others countries of the intertropical zone of America have many cities in the highlands zone. Thanks a lot for replying and keeping in touch. I'll be glad to keep contact with you and who knows collaborate for another project! Meanwhile stay Alive!!! :)
@@Geodiode Hello my friend! I will try to investigate, but I really think that one possible reason is that we don't have greats plateaux in our highlands to support a big city, just valleys. Meanwhile... stay dry!!
I lived and born in this climate, Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia, nice video!
Beautiful view love it and the vid is informative thanks. 🥰🥰😍
Well, yeah. Having been born in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), I always wondered, as a child and as a teen, what that 'winter' from american TV felt like. We don't get to experience different seasons in there. It's mainly Summer or Brutally Hot Summer throughout all year. Having experienced temperatures as high as 43C and year round stickiness, since air is REALLY humid, well, I never really liked the climate myself. As a young adult I then moved to Florianópolis (Brazil), a city much more to the south of the country. Being for the first time in a Subtropical climate, I got to experience actual winters (lowest temp there is around 6C, doesn't actually snow), even though it's an island. I now love and surround myself with tropical plants in the apartment, building my private urban jungle, but can't withstand the actual climate they thrive on haha. I visit Rio de Janeiro several times every year and it's always one of both: scorchingly sunny or heavily rainy, and always hot, be it day or night.
its funny because a subtropical climate is almost tropical just a bit cooler also with no snow still can get tropical during summer but cool during winter
those tropical plants still do well in subtropicalk climate
I love this vid. What I most like about it is that it teaches you things.
Thanks! Mission accomplished!
Fun fact, Hawaii’s capital of honolulu actually has a borderline semi arid(BSh) climate very close to a tropical savanna climate(As) with a summer dry season rather than the typical winter dry season common in tropical savannna climates
Great documentary on Tropical rainforest. Thank you
My teacher uses ur work to teach us .Thank you for makjng geograohy so lively.
My mission accomplished (to bring the subject to life)! Thanks!
I was in a tropical savannah (Aw on Koppen Climate) in Mexico during a vacation in 2019 (yucatan peninsula). I went in August but I don't doubt the temperature will be much different in December or February. However living in florida, I kinda like the heat and am used to it after a while.
Amazing video... very very useful and knowledgeable RUclips channel ever i see... thankyou from India
Thanks a ton
Praises to this very underated video:>Love it
Like Hawaii, in China the two sides of east and west coast of Hainan and Taiwan and many places in Southeast Asia the rainfall change so dramatically.
I live in Malaysia. Agreed. One time it was sunny and just 10 minutes later it's heavy rain. Sucks when I working out.
Can't help but notice the omission of Australia's substantial tropical and monsoonal rainforest, including the Daintree - oldest in the world at 180 million yrs and 20 million yrs older than the Amazon.
Wow.. awesome bowesomm ❤️
Love it.
Palm Beach County, Florida. Always hot, often rainy, seasons don't really exist. Plants grow very quickly here.
Hey, @@Geodiode, I loved your series! I was actually going to ask you a question regarding this, since it confused me. Initially, I thought I lived in a tropical monsoon climate. The rain patterns are spot on as you describe (very noticeable alternating wet and dry seasons), so the description just made sense. Upon further research, however, I read that the criteria for Af is that at least 2.4 inches (60mm) of rain falls every month. My town's driest month is typically February, which averages 2.5 inches of rain; this puts my town barely over the minimum. Furthermore, I've read the climate here described as a "trade wind tropical rainforest climate," which can allow Af to exist abnormally distant from the equator; you described a similar phenomenon appearing in Hawaii. The climate does seem rather varied upon the season for your description of Af, however. I'd be curious if you could clear up this confusion for me. Once again, thank you so much for the greatly informative series!
@Geodiode great vid!
Great content! Thank you for your quality and informative videos.
The pacific coast of Colombia has the wettest lowland rainforest in the world. I wish if you included the graphs for a place in the Colombian pacific.
Tutunendo and Quibdo are among the wettest places in the world. I will cover these in a future episode about top 10 wettest places in the world.
Very helpful video.. Thank you
thankyouuuu sooo much for this playlist , you made geo facts easy to learn
It's my pleasure
0:49 This building is called Ulun Danu Temple which is located in Bedugul, Bali, Indonesia. Bali is not included in the tropical rain forest climate type. Bali is included in the climate type Aw or Savannah Climate. we can find the dry season in Bali from April to September. even near Bedugul, one can find the Eka Karya Botanical Garden which collects upland plants typical of tropical dry climates.
The tropical rain forest climate in southern Indonesia is only found in the central and western parts of Java Island.
Hi, thanks for this wonderful series on your channel. I cannot find a better explanation anywhere else. Koppen's classification was tough for me to understand.. Can you please make a series on the Trewartha & Thornthwaite too?
Difference between these three.?
& PLEASE keep your voice louder than the music.
Again thank you for this wonderful series. 🙂

Thank you for this sturdy of tropical rainforest and it helped in my exam very much
Good Luck!
I love your videos
Many thanks!
It was very nice video.......❤😘❤........
It's ok...🥰🥰
😍😍😍😍I never imagine such mind blowing explanations.Keep it up.........
I lived in Singapore for 6-years and rather enjoyed the tropical climate. Sure, you had to be prepared for the mid-day heat and afternoon thundershower but I much prefer that to the cold and snow.
Good Explanation
So humid in equato,not windy, but almost every day raining😊.From Malaysia🇲🇾 at tropical.
Thank you so very much for this video. Very grateful.
You are so welcome!
The commentary keeps you interested , coolll
Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, two US cities in Florida, experience a Tropical Rainforest type of climate, as well as Hilo in Hawaii (still US), Manaus in Brazil, Leticia in Colombia, Iquitos in Peru, as well as a host of other cities throughout the Caribbean and the East Indies as well.
very informative and beautiful presentation
What accounts for such big differences in rainfall between Kampala(which gets "just" 94 days per year), and Suva or Iquitos, both of which get 222?
hai..im a teacher from malaysia..can i edit your video by adding subtitle just for educational purpose at school..bcoz most of my student didnt undertand english
@@Geodiode thank you very much..i want to add subs in all your videos about climate bcoz this topic are the most important topic in geography for 2nd year primary school syllabus
Kps eosog eowb ppqnbc, now
I enjoy it
A car would generally be slower in a tropical forest and faster in the Gobi Desert, for the following reasons:
• Tropical forest: Frequent rainfall, high humidity, and dense vegetation make roads wet and slippery, leading to slower driving speeds. The terrain in tropical forests can also be uneven, muddy, and full of obstacles like tree roots or dense undergrowth. These factors require more cautious driving, especially if the vehicle is off-road or on poorly maintained roads.
• Gobi Desert: The Gobi Desert is dry and arid with very little rainfall, so the roads are typically dry and stable. While sand dunes or loose gravel might slow down a vehicle in off-road situations, desert conditions usually allow for faster driving compared to a tropical forest. However, extreme heat in the Gobi could affect vehicle performance over time, like tire pressure or engine overheating, but it doesn’t typically slow down traffic as much as wet conditions in a forest would.
In summary, cars tend to be slower in a tropical forest due to wet, challenging conditions, while they can generally go faster in the Gobi Desert, barring issues with heat or sand.
great vid
:)
Well Narrated....
Thank you for the explanation💯
I live in the tropics and sometimes i hate it. Hot and humid throughout the year.
Yes if you don't get under the rainforest canopy it's going to extremely unpleasant.
Hi I'm from Newcastle, Australia, and was wondering if you knew if Australia has any true tropical Af climate. There is a sliver of tropical climate in Far North Queensland called the Wet Tropics, and just south of Cairns around Innisfail some say is Af climate. However other sources say it's not true tropical climate, but is seasonal Am tropical climate. Do you know if indeed that little region is Af?
Also, is the Daintree rainforest Af or Am, which is the tropical rainforest just north of Cairns?
Great videos by the way.
Another thing I've been wondering for a while, is which of the big three (Amazon, Congo, Borneo) Af tropical rainforests is the most deeply tropical, bio-diverse Af climate?
If you go off which gets the most rain, if I'm not mistaken, the Amazon seems to have better rain figures than the other two, especially the region to the west of the Andes in Columbia. And the Amazon seems to have bigger rivers which might also be an indication of more rain.
Although if looking at bio-diversity according to range of evolution, the Amazon doesn't have primates as intelligent as the Congo. Congo has chimpanzees which are the most intelligent species.
In terms of which rainforest is the most bio-diverse with the most number of species of flora and fauna in a given acre of rainforest, some sources I've searched on say it's Borneo, then others say it's the Congo, while others say it's the Amazon!
@@Geodiode
I think maybe Cairns itself is supposed to be just outside that tropical sliver, with the sliver itself beginning on the south side of Cairns. Try the temp and rainfall graphs for Babinda, which is definitely within that sliver.
Also could you link that updated 2018 map?
@@Geodiode
Much appreciated. Btw that's a real habit of my own, forgetting to include a promised link. Always do that lol. Look forward to your next video and do plan to watch more of your past ones.
Oh, have you got any thoughts on which of the three major Af zones (1. Borneo/South-East Asia, 2. Amazon, 3. Congo) is the most biodiverse/deeply tropical?
What I mean by "deeply tropical" is which of the three regions is generally the furthest on the Af spectrum. They all contain Af climate, but there would also have to be a spectrum within the Af climate.
If you're not sure off the top of your head, would you know how I could go about finding out? I've done searches on it but have come up with conflicting conclusions.
Are the highest rainfall figures the primary factor for determining which region is the furthest on the tropical spectrum, or can you get more biodiverse areas that have less rainfall? I have looked at that a bit and I think the Amazon contains the highest rainfall figures out of the three tropical rainforest regions, and the Congo the least. Although another source said Borneo had the most biodiversity. So it's hard to get a straight answer.
I don't know if it's always the case, but my understanding of the definition of "biodiverse" is how many species of flora and fauna are within a given acre of rainforest. And that the more biodiverse the rainforest is, the further on the tropical spectrum it is.
I hope I've communicated what I'm trying to say good enough for you to understand where I'm coming from and what I'm asking, I'm not exactly a climatology major and I'm sure a climatology specialist would communicate the question a lot better using specialist terminology XD
@@Geodiode
Thanks a lot! I didn't realize I was moving out of climatology there but it does make sense. Nonetheless you've given me a lot of food for thought.
Complex factors become more important to biodiversity above 2000mm rainfall, that is interesting. I bet the isolated exposed islands of South East Asia vs the sheltered continental rainforests of Amazon and Congos has some sort of bearing for or against greater biodiversity. That characteristic would be something to look into.
I suppose the sea salt breeze might make for a drier rainforest than the sheltered rainforest that swelters in the middle of a continent. Well just a guess. From what I understand there are tropical rainforests on the coast although it doesn't hold as easily as inland. That might encourage a more hardcore rainforest in the Amazon and Congo regions.
The rivers in the Amazons are very large compared to South East Asia, seems to collect and retain H2O a lot better.
Just based on this logic, on the island vs continental aspect I'm guessing towards the more sheltered continental rainforests being more hardcore biodiverse rainforests. A humid oven is what the tropics thrives on which I suppose is why most rainforest thrives inland away from the coast. Look at the Amazon and Congo rainforests, it congregates way inland.
Complex topic indeed!
Sans rien vouloir retirer a votre travail, il me semble quand même essentiel de comprendre qu'il s'agit de la forêt equatoriale.

Great work guys 👍
i live in this zone
and in my area i can predict rain
usually it rains between 1pm-10pm
and it rains almost everyday for a week then it switches to it rarely rains for a week then it rains again and repeat
also in my area there is a bit of a dry season where its a bit more drier
Very interesting. Thanks. Which area are you in?
@@Geodiode jambi city in the province of jambi in Indonesia
Singapore has Af, so we see rain all the time!
But we see more rain during the northern meteorological winter because of monsoonal winds from the South China Sea.
Its also very hot too all the time!
Could've added two important and big brazilian cities situated within the climate: Salvador (State of Bahia) and Belém (State of Pará)
@@Geodiode Great! Gotta watch
Santos (state of São Paulo) also has a Af climate, despite being outside of the tropics.
for most of my life i lived in Hawaii on the big island. however i did not live in hilo i lived in kona on the opposite side of hilo. it rained a lot though. two years ago i moved to Arizona. the complete opposite clement of Hawaii, but I'm managing .
GeoDiode kona isn’t as dry as you would think knowing that Hilo get the most of our rain ... the humidity is pretty much the same on both sides of the island. And yes my skin is cracking major over here 😅
Western ghats in india also have tropical rainforests, they are considered one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in the world ,yes and we do have lots of coconuts and bananas in west coast of India.
This is so underrated. Thank u for this vid :)
awesome !
I live in southern India ,somewhat sandwiched between coconut trees and rain forests,it’s true the forest cover has decreased drastically with considerable efforts is being taken now,with population wise too,now india being the most populous,hidden factor is almost one third of it is refugees and immigrants,while watching your videos I thought it’s high time to promote hydroponics and soil less agriculture
Genial thanks
Loved it♥
wow
ur name sounds like geodude
anyway great video hella educational
I love all of these videos! But I do wish this didn't have the word "hell" in it so I could share it with my class.
I love tropics, I would be there. I live in Italy and i hate when it’s winter because the temperature goes like 3ºC . It’s too cold for me and days are too short.
GeoDiode I’m from Centre Italy. Yeah it’s good that sometimes fresh air comes during the year, but the problem is that I really hate winter because days are shorter and make me feel sad and a little bit depressed and with the cold air my skin becomes dry and irritated. That’s why i love tropics: winter doesn’t exist! But I have to admit that here in Italy summer is beautiful too :)
P.S. Thank you for these videos!
@@vapervop
That's called Seasonal Depression, some people can't help but be depressed by a particular climate. It happens a lot with people being depressed by cloudy wintery weather.
3°? Sounds nice and warm! :D It's already below zero in Finland... The seasonal depression is also a huge thing here : D
@@Geodiode
I don't like the winter rainfall pattern of Mediterranean climates. Dry winters and rainy summers are better than dry summers and rainy winters but the best is year round rainfall.
I really wish we could trade place. I live in the tropics and it's hot and humid all year round. I wish I could live in a place with 4 seasons and the temperature always drops to a single digit in winter. I've always wanted to feel "the real cold" like most people on earth
My home🙌
❤
in Indonesia, I think there is only one season, which always summer and sometime have heavy rains seasonal period
I dont get if tropical climates are depended on constant year a around hot temperatur then how come for example the the canaria Islands and coastal cities of morocco have a dry climate although the year around temperatur is between 20 and 35 degrees Celcius and surrounded by sea??
I dont quit get it. Can someone explain ? :)
Because the precipitation total in the parts of the Canary Islands that your referring to don’t meet the minimum requirements to be part of the A climates.
🇧🇷
i kinda wish my country (pakistan)had a true tropical climate af or am although we do get tropical tempratures near the coast its arid and considered bwh or bwk. the most similar to the tropical climate we have is tropical desert and subtropical humid cwa climate
I live in singapore lol
Even in Zambia on some places we experience such
Yes, although most of your country is subtropical highland due to it being on an extensive plateau.
Yup its warm or wet here in singapore but now its 22degrees celcius i wondered what causes the cooler temperatures..is it the same as how snow is form in countries with 4 seasons?
@@Geodiode its usually cooler during december/january, today is 23celcius at 10am now. Last 2 days was 21.1celcius in the central part of SG should be at night
@@Geodiode so the process is not the same as how snow n winter is formed in other countries but not in SG cos we are on the equator? And yup 30c is not too bad but impossible for sports in my opinion. I usually play football at night
Seems...I'm flying in real journey...with nature..
I notice on the map, that it’s not that many rainforest left on planet earth
I’m writing this while the sun is striking my head at 90 degrees.

Sir how are you? Is equitorial climate and tropical rain forest climate one and the same
Equatorial climate and tropical rainforest climate are closely related, both occurring near the equator. However, they're not identical. Equatorial climate describes the broader climatic conditions near the equator, characterized by high temperatures and humidity year-round. Tropical rainforest climate specifically refers to areas within the equatorial zone with dense rainforests, experiencing abundant and consistent rainfall, often exceeding 2000 millimeters annually. While tropical rainforest climate is a subset of equatorial climate, not all equatorial regions have dense rainforests, differentiating the two terms.
Isn't Medellin,Colombia also having tropical rainforest climate ??
Medellin is a hybrid of this climate with Subtropical Highland influences (it's at 1,500m altitude), with a noticeable series of dry seasons. Go a bit further down the valley to the coast and you'll be in firm Tropical Rainforest though.
@@Geodiode yes, i love this form of tropical rainforest climate. The city of eternal spring. I live in Kolkata, India having tropical wet and dry climate (Aw). The summers are worst here. It's 38°c now with high humidity.
whats the Movement of currents? (both wind and ocean)
Marine currents generally flow in the same direction as the wind, since it is the effect of the wind on the water masses that causes their movement. The more intense the action of the wind on the water, the more intense the current will be.
cool :o
Western Ghats India also has tropical rainforest or evergreen forest with wide biodiversity.
I live in Topical Rainforest and there are lot of rainfall here.
