~Tropical Climate~ ﻿ T he tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches of rain falls yearly. 

 Most people think all rainforests have warm, sunny weather, but they're wrong. Only the rainforests that are located in the tropics, or ten degrees within the equator have year-round warm weather. Subtropical rainforests that lay outside of the tropics have seasonal changes in their weather. There are a couple of types of rainforests. and they are categorized by the types of weather they have during the year and where they are located. The names of these rainforests are monsoon, equatorial, and subtropical. Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. The t- emperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or drops below 68 °F; 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. Almost all rain forests lie near the equator. Rainforests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests.  T ropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. The result of all of this rain, is that the rainforest is filled head to toe with lush green vegetation. Many trees in the rainforest have canopies on them, providing shade for the animals and plants. The canopies help shield the plants and animals from the scorching sunlight. The rainforests are very humid due to the warm sunlight, rain and the canopies shading over the plants keeps in the moisture.

If you wanted to visit the Tropical rainforest you would need to bring long pants and long sleeve shirt so that it is harder for things to bite you. An umbrella because it rains a ton! Bug spray, a machete, a map, and a gun to keep the animals away :p

You could possibly stay in the tropical rain forest if you find a place to stay... other wise a tent would be pretty dangerous i would think.
