Effective climate classification according to Köppen and Geiger

A rainy climate is a climate in which relatively high rainfall occurs all year round.

General climate typing

The term "rain climate" is based on the Köppen / Geiger classification , which in today's climatic geography belongs to the standard of climate classification in addition to the Troll / Paffen climate classification .

Köppen / Geiger differentiate between five different climatic zones:

Within climate zone A, Köppen / Geiger differentiate between two types of climate:

Features of the rainy climate

The rainy climate is characterized as a humid climate with year-round precipitation and, on average, year-round positive climatic water balance (precipitation> evaporation), in which most of the precipitation falls as rain. The mean temperature in the tropical rainy climate remains above 18 ° C in all months.

A special feature of the rainy climate is the cloud forest climate (Spanish also: Yunga climate), in which the plants are mainly supplied with water from the fog and thus from the air.
