Tropical rainforest distribution and climates

Today, rainforests are located in the three main areas: the Amazon River Basin in South America, the Congo Basin in Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. All of those regions are warm throughout the year, and their daily temperature fluctuation is comparable to their average seasonal temperature fluctuation. It rains heavily during the most months of the year. Some regions have a dry season, in which the monthly rainfall falls below 100 mm, but such periods rarely last more than three months.
