I know Faerun has tropics. a fair part of Zakhara is in the equator for instance.
Whereas Icewind Dale has a subarctic or arctic climate, and the Jungles of Chult is humid tropical, here is the reason why I ask. I'm about to recruit for a campaign set in Chondath on the Paizo boards (see the Vilhon Reach accessory).
The idea for the campaign is one for the unification of Chondath back into one country. We will be using PF1e. So, is Chondath near tropical or subtropical?

Since you mentioned it, see the Vilhon Reach accessory, top of page 4.
"The weather of the Vilhon Reach is sub-tropical and humid." |

| One of scribes here, Markustay, made this map. It includes tropics and arctic circles as well as equator and time zones. His map work is superb. I use it for my home campaign in case of teleporting vast distances. |

Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good. |

| The climate feels kind of like the Mediterranean: warm summers, mild winters, and a decent amount of humidity. |

Random Edlore on (names of) the tropic parallels;

Jerryd, most folk of Faerûn have no PRECISE idea about solar seasonal ‘wanderings’ (in GENERAL, of course, they know about it, especially if they farm, sail the seas, or travel extensively), and therefore there’s no widely-known concept of the arctic circles or the tropics, and no commonly-accepted names for them.
However, that doesn’t mean that certain faiths haven’t studied the sun closely. In Kara-Tur there are names for the tropic parallels (unknown to me), and they are also named (not necessarily venerated or made much of) in some Faerûnian faiths, as follows:
Angharradh: Dieree (Cancer), Luel (Capricorn)
Aumauntor: Resrar (Cancer), Alondar (Capricorn)
Baervan Wildwanderer: Nyarduth (Cancer), Sudduth (Capricorn)
Deep Sashelas: Dieree (Cancer), Luel (Capricorn)
Chauntea: Resm (Cancer), Londim (Capricorn)
Gwaeron Windstrom: Trethen (Cancer), Lonthen (Capricorn)
Horus-Re: Sebrah (Cancer), Umbrah (Capricorn)
Kossuth: Arfane (Cancer), Dloefane (Capricorn)
Labelas Enoreth: Dieree (Cancer), Luel (Capricorn)
Lathander: Resra (Cancer), Alondyr (Capricorn)
Marthammor Duin: Taen (Cancer), Muirtaen (Capricorn)
Mielikki: Trethen (Cancer), Lonthen (Capricorn)
Sejojan Earthcaller: Nyarduth (Cancer), Sudduth (Capricorn)
Sêlune: Treth (Cancer), Lonth (Capricorn)
Shaundakul: Trethen (Cancer), Lonthen (Capricorn)
Sheela Peryroyal: Nyarra (Cancer), Soudrra (Capricorn)
Valkur: Trethen (Cancer), Lonthen (Capricorn)
