tropical
When describing weather or places, 'tropical' usually implies a combination of high heat and high humidity. It is often used to create an image of lush greenery or exotic vacations. In a scientific or meteorological context, it specifically refers to the geographic area around the equator. When used with words like 'storm' or 'cyclone', it describes the origin and nature of the weather system rather than just the temperature.
