What is the climate of a tropical rainforest?

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

                               El Nino and La Nina

El Nino is a climate pattern where the water in the Pacific Ocean near the equator gets hotter than usual and affects the atmosphere and weather around the world. El Nino climate conditions occur every few years, and they are not predictable. El Nino is Spanish for The Little Boy. It refers to the child Christ and was named by Mexican fisherman, who noticed the climate pattern often formed around Christmas time. The climate pattern can change the weather of the United States, particularly in California and the southern states. Usually, El Nino brings more rain and higher temperatures. Also, warm ocean currents come farther north and all kinds of tropical fish can be caught in the waters far north along the United States West Coast. El Nino may also bring warmer than normal winter temperatures to the eastern part of the United States.
La Nina is sort of the opposite of El Nino. During a La Nina, the water in the same area along the equator gets colder than usual. This, too, affects weather around the globe and in the United States. According to scientists. La Nina cycles generally create a more active hurricane season in the Atlantic. In the United States, La Nina is expected to bring above-normal temperatures throughout most of the Southwest and southern Florida in the late summer and fall. These warmer conditions will extend in the Pacific Northwest. Cooler than normal temperatures are also expected across the Great Lakes and Northeast later in the winter into spring. In addition to temperature effects, La Nina is also expected to affect rainfall. Drier than normal conditions will persist in west Texas, New Mexico and Arizona into October. The late fall and early winter forecasts indicate continued dry conditions throughout much of the southern United States and into portions of the Midwest. Above normal precipitation is predicted for much of the Pacific Northwest throughout the fall and into the winter months, and in the Ohio and Tennessee River Valley in the winter.

Which countries are the most affected due to these phenomena?
