    Temperatures usually average 27.9 °C during the dry season, and 25.8 °C during the rainy season. Relative humidity is quite high at an average of 88% in the rainy season and 77% in the dry season. Every year, the Amazon rainforest receives torrential rainfall - between 1,500 mm and 3,000 mm. Where does all that water come from? Eastern trade winds that blow from the Atlantic Ocean account for about half of the rainfall, with the other half due to evapotranspiration - the loss of water from the soil by evaporation and through transpiration from plants - in the Amazon River Basin. If evapotranspiration and its role in maintaining ecological balance are disrupted, the climate throughout region - and well beyond - will be significantly…
