Rhipidocladum sibilans is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 22.7°C and precipitation of 1404 mm. Temperatures show relatively little seasonality (standard deviation ~60.9), varying from 29.3°C in the warmest month to 15.8°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~82.4). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~53.4), varying from 332 mm in the wettest month to 14 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 925 mm) and driest (totaling 59 mm) quarters being 22.9°C and 22.5°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (26.9°C) and coolest (20°C) quarters being 354 mm and 175 mm, respectively.

Tables and figures are dynamically generated by intersecting georeferenced herbarium specimen localities with 10 minute resolution WorldClim v2.1 variables (Fick and Hijmans 2017). The above data are subject to change as specimens and geocoordinates are added, removed or altered.
