In the tropical rainforest, days are usually rainy. It gets heavy rainfall all year round. The heat here is year round because most of the tropical rainforests are around the equator. Also, the forests are very dense with tall trees in the canopy, and small bushes on the ground. Tropical Rainforests are found on the windward side (the side from which direction the wind comes from) of mountains. Tropical rainforests may vary between rainforests in the Central Amazon with tall, 300 year old trees, and rainforests in which trees only reach near 70 years of age.
