Manaus in located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The climate is quite consistent throughout the year, with a temperature range of between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. During the current season, the wet season, it rains every day. Typically, we get about half a foot to a little over a foot of rain a day, which is a crazy amount when you think about how much rain is falling over such a short period of time. When it isn't raining, it is sunny and humid. A lot of people find it difficult to deal with the heat, but for me personally, it hasn't been much of a struggle in my day-to-day life.
The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest tropical rainforest, and the Amazon River is the world's widest river, so both are entirely vital to the world's overall climate. The Amazon spans across nine countries, with its largest percentage residing in Brazil. Manaus is the capital of the Amazonas state within Brazil, and it's a very special place.
