The Macapá region includes large tracts of
tropical rainforest and experiences relatively high rainfall. Macapá features a
tropical monsoon climate (Am)
under the Köppen climate classification, with a lengthy wet season from
December through August, and a relatively short dry season that covers the
remaining three months. However, a noticeable amount of rain is observed even
during the dry season, a trait common to a number of other areas with this
climate.
