A climatological station located near the equator recorded the following long-term average weather data:

Month	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
Mean Temperature (°C)	27	27	28	28	28	27	26	26	27	27	27	27
Monthly Precipitation (mm)	280	270	310	290	250	180	110	95	120	200	260	300

Using evidence from the data table, identify two distinct features of this climate that are typical of a tropical rainforest ecosystem.
