Question
I have to do a report on a biome of my choice (tropical forest) for my AP biology course at Ocean Twp. High School.  
I was hoping you could give me some information on the weather of this biome.  
It would be a big help.  
Thank you so much!

Answer
Hi Molly
There are variations but if you visit the Amazon Rain forest you would find:
Hot and humid with temps averaging 70 to 90 degrees F during the day and 60 -70 at night.  It  rains almost daily during the wet season and less during the dry season, but there is a lot of sunshine.  Rainfall is 70 - 100 inches per year.
