- Moreover, as it falls under the equatorial region, this region receives a Convectional type of rainfall. So, the temperature here is humid.
- Thus, throughout the year this region experiences a hot and humid climate.
Therefore, there is not much difference in the range of climatic temperature in Manaus.
