Climate groups biomes by the weather pattern that actually defines them. Wikipedia notes true tropical rainforests occur in climates "where no dry season occurs; all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm," a strict rule that separates them from seasonal tropical forest. This dimension lets a visitor find every biome that shares the same underlying climate.
