The climate in the Amazon rainforest is like that of any other typical tropical rainforest. It is hot and humid. There aren't many seasonal changes in the climate and the temperature too remains the same for pretty much of the year.
In fact the difference between the day and night temperatures is greater than the difference between any two seasons. The weather remains the same all year long. It is exactly like Singapore's weather. It is either rain or shine.
One difference: It rains almost the whole year in the Amazon forest. But two seasons can be defined for the sake of clarity as the rainy season and the not-so-rainy season.
The rainy seasons are about 60-180 inches while in the non-rainy seasons, the rains may be between 30-100 inches. The rain stops or starts very suddenly.
