Damp Tropical Regions
Damp Tropical Regions are found near the equator and are normally hot and wet all year round. It’s estimated that tropical regions are three times wetter than temperate regions, with frequent thunderstorms. The cloud cover ensures that temperatures do not sink during the night, resulting in warm evenings and nights.
Increased levels of humidity can make temperatures feel a lot higher than they are, leading to clammy or a ‘close’ atmosphere.
However, warm and humid conditions are the perfect conditions for insects such as mosquitoes which can carry malaria. Make sure you take extra care to deter mosquitos by covering up skin and using insect–repellent clothing such as NosiLife.

Pip Stewart
Since 2013 Pip has cycled 10,000 miles from Malaysia to London, travelled 3,000 miles by bike, boat and plane exploring Brazil and Peru and paddled the entire length of The Essequibo, South America's third largest river, from source to sea. So she is no stranger to travelling through remote rainforests and tropical areas. She relies on Craghoppers clothing to keep her shielded from sun and biting insects in the day and a lightweight waterproof jacket for any tropical storms.
