What's the weather like?
The Amazon basin sits essentially astride the equater, so it doesn't have the winter and summer temperature differences that temperate zone dwellers are familiar with. The seasons in the Amazon are determined by rainfall - wet or dry. Since reasonable and productive access to peacock bass occurs only during the dry season, that's precisely when we fish for them. That makes the weather conditions we encounter pretty consistent and predictable.
So it's hot, but not
any hotter than Texas in August. And though it's usually fairly dry,
it can get humid, but not any worse than New Jersey in July.
For the most part, it's a little bit easier on the human comfort zone than
Florida in the summer. Daytime temperatures can range from 75 to
100 degrees while the nights are generally cooler, from 70 to 80 degrees.
The dry season in Amazonia is noted for its relatively benign conditions.
The sun is an altogether different story.
Amazonia is located essentially astride the equator. Nowhere on earth
is the sun more powerful and more capable of causing sunburn than here.
Make sure that you bring and use plenty of sun block and, especially for
the sun sensitive, cover up with good quality tropical clothing.
We recommend light-colored, long sleeve shirts, long pants, a wide brim
hat or tropical fishing cap and good quality polarized glasses.  |
