Dive into turquoise waters, sunbathe on white sandy beaches, explore thick mangroves and admire the diverse and abundant biodiversity, tropical climates are vital to our Earth’s ecosystem. From the Galapagos to Costa Rica, where the rainforest rolls into the sandy beaches, these are postcard worthy destinations.

Tropical Weather

There are only two seasons in a tropical environment, wet and dry, however these two distinct seasons are usually defined by precipitation rather than temperature, the temperature usually remains quite steady throughout the year. Keep protected from the sun in UPF clothing and lightweight layers.

During the rainy season, expect heavy downpours, increased humidity, abundant vegetation and a more active animal population. In the dry season, it will be warmer and drier, with little to no rainfall. Vegetation can become dormant and the animal population have their natural migrations. You’ll need lightweight, moisture wicking clothing.
