In choosing campsites, make sure you are above any potential flooding. Prevailing winds vary between winter and summer. The dry season has rain once a day and the monsoon has continuous rain. In Southeast Asia, winds from the Indian Ocean bring the monsoon, but it is dry when the wind blows from the landmass of China. Tropical day and night are of equal length.
Darkness falls quickly and daybreak is just as sudden.
There is no standard jungle. Semievergreen seasonal and monsoon forests. Scrub and thorn forests. The climate varies little in rain forests. You find these forests across the equator in the Amazon and Congo basins, parts of Indonesia, and several Pacific islands.
