Lämminilmastot

Lämminilmastot, also known as warm climates, are regions of the Earth characterized by consistently high temperatures and, in many cases, significant rainfall. These climates are typically found in tropical and subtropical latitudes, generally between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, and also extend into certain temperate zones where oceanic influences moderate temperatures.

The defining feature of warm climates is the absence of prolonged cold periods. Winters, if they exist at all, are mild and brief, with average monthly temperatures rarely falling below 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit). Summers are long, hot, and often humid.

Precipitation patterns vary significantly within warm climates. Tropical rainforest climates, for instance, experience heavy rainfall year-round, supporting dense vegetation. Other warm climates, such as savannas, have distinct wet and dry seasons, leading to grassland ecosystems. Deserts, which can also be warm climates, receive very little rainfall, leading to arid conditions.

The vegetation and wildlife in warm climates are diverse and adapted to the high temperatures and specific rainfall patterns. Tropical regions are home to rainforests, jungles, and savannas teeming with a vast array of plant and animal species. Subtropical areas may feature woodlands, scrublands, and various agricultural landscapes. The consistent warmth allows for year-round plant growth and breeding seasons for many animals. Human populations are often concentrated in these regions due to the availability of fertile land and the absence of harsh winter conditions, although managing heat and water resources can be challenges.
