Annual rain and snow is often abundant in tropical climates, and shows a seasonal rhythm but may have seasonal dryness to varying degrees. There are normally only two seasons in tropical climates. A wet (rainy/monsoon) season and a dry season.
The annual how hot or cold range in tropical climates is normally very small. There are three basic types of tropical climates within the tropical climate group: tropical rainforest climate (Af). Tropical monsoon climate (Am) and tropical savanna or tropical wet and dry climate (Aw for dry winters, and As for dry summers), which are classified and distinguished by the rain and snow levels of the driest month in those regions.
