A [[tropical rainforest climate]] is a type of [[tropical climate]] in which there is no [[dry season]] — all months have mean [[precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]] values of at least {{convert|60|mm}}. It is usually found at [[latitude]]s within five degrees of the [[equator]] — which are dominated by the [[Intertropical Convergence Zone]]. The [[equatorial climate]] is denoted ''Af'' in the [[Köppen climate classification]].

=== Vegetation ===
The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining [[rainforest]]s and comprises the largest and most species-rich tracts of [[tropical rainforest]] in the world. Wet tropical forests are the most species-rich [[biome]], and tropical forests in the [[Americas]] are consistently more species rich than the wet forests in Africa and Asia.<ref name ="Turner 2001">Turner, I.M. 2001.
