Temperature is an important aspect of climate and can be used to grade climatic zones on a scale of five:
Tropical, with annual and monthly averages above 20° C (68° F);
subtropical, with 4 to 11 months above 20° C, and the balance between 10° and 20° C (50° to 68° F);
temperate, with 4 to 12 months at 10° to 20° C, and the rest cooler;
cold, with 1 to 4 months at 10° to 20° C, and the rest cooler; and
Polar, with 12 months below 10° C.
The Jatropha can be grown in all countries falling under tropical, subtropical zones and in certain countries fall in temperate climate. Also in certain areas of Arid and sub-Arid regions As per Vegetation Classification it grows in the selva, or equatorial rain-forest belt, the hot tropical belt and in the savanna region perfectly
