tropical–hot and humid all year round with
plentiful rainfall (Northern Vietnam is the only
major region in Southeast Asia that features
a subtropical climate, which has a cold

season caused by seasonal shift in winds
or monsoon. The tropical rain belt causes
additional rainfall during the monsoon
season. The rain forest is the second largest
on earth (with the Amazon being the largest).
An exception to this type of climate and

milder temperatures and drier landscape.
