[[Image:Naplesbeach.jpg|thumb|300px|Naples beach in Florida lined with [[coconut]] trees is an example of a tropical climate. Although it lies in the [[subtropics]] over a hundred miles north of the [[tropic of cancer]], the warm waters of the [[Gulf of Mexico]] give it a monthly mean temperature never under 65°F, classifying its climate as tropical.]]
A '''tropical climate''' is a kind of [[climate]] typical in the [[tropics]]. [[Wladimir Köppen|Köppen]]'s widely-recognized [[Köppen climate classification|scheme of climate classification]] defines it as a non-[[arid]] climate in which all twelve months have mean temperatures above 18°C (64.4 °F).
==Examples of tropical climates==
