Climate
Lábrea has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) with consistently hot temperatures and very oppressive humidity. Rainfall is heavy for most of the year with the annual average being close to 2,400 millimetres or 90 inches; however a short dry season in June and July when monthly rainfall averages less than 50 millimetres or 2 inches places the climate in the tropical monsoon rather than tropical rainforest category.
