Weather Factors
The reasoning for this extremely miserable and wet climate, has to do with a lot of things. First off, the fact that its so close to the equator, it's always really really hot. And because it's so hot, it causes all the moisture to stay there... The moisture stays there because of the dense trees. Once more, because it's so hot, it creates a never ending cycle of sticky air, and rainy weather.
Season
There is one season. Hot & wet. Miserable.
Temperature
Since this climate receives roughly the same amount of sunlight year round, the temperature stays about the same all the time. The average temperature is around 80 degrees.
