Perhumid climate
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007853
A climate characterized by consistently high levels of precipitation throughout the year, significantly exceeding evapotranspiration. This results in a continuous water surplus, supporting lush vegetation such as rainforests. Such climates are typically found in equatorial regions or along windward mountain slopes, where moist air masses frequently release their moisture.
