The torrid zone refers to the area of the earth near the equator. As its name suggests, the torrid zone is generally warm. It has a wet and dry season but does not experience the four seasons familiar to residents of the temperate zones further from the equator. The warmth of the torrid zone influences its weather, ecosystems and geographic features.

The tropical zone contains areas that are the hottest places on earth. Most have a wet season and a dry season as opposed to the more typical cold and hot seasons of the temperate zones. Most locales within the torrid zone receive plenty of rainfall to promote lush vegetation growth with the aid of the sun directly overhead. The temperature stays relatively uniform from day to night. Cloud cover helps keep the temperature uniform throughout the day and through the seasons.

This very same cloud cover also promotes almost daily rainfall during the wet season. When warm moist air rises and is coupled with ground heating by the sun, this causes atmospheric disturbances resulting in thunderstorms. Prevailing winds in the tropics tend to blow from east to west, often causing deserts to be located on the western side of major continental masses.
