Rain forests belong
to the tropical wet climate group. The temperature in a rain
forest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or
drops below 68 °F (20 °C); average humidity is
between 77 and 88%; rainfall is often more than 100 inches a
year. There is usually a brief season of less rain. In
monsoonal areas, there is a real dry season. Almost all rain
forests lie near the equator.
