  • Equatorial or tropical rainforest climate. (Köppen Af). A tropical climate with no dry season.
  • Humid temperate climate (not used in the Köppen climate classification, but may fall under the Cf classification), a temperate climate sub-type characterized by humidity and rain throughout the year from oceanic influence
