Amar exhibits a humid {{wp|tropical rainforest climate}} ({{wp|Köppen climate classification|Köppen classification}}: {{wp|tropical rainforest climate|Af}}) characterized by its significant annual rainfall and warm temperatures. This climate is distinguished by its driest month not meeting the criteria for a tropical monsoon climate. The city experiences an average annual temperature of approximately {{convert|27.6|C|F}} along with high humidity levels. Annually, Amar receives an average of {{convert|2300|mm|in|sp=us}} of precipitation. | |||
The climate of Amar follows distinct seasons primarily determined by rainfall patterns. The period from July to September is relatively drier, while the months spanning from December to May bring heavy rains. Thunderstorms are a common occurrence throughout the year, with occasional instances of hail reported. | |||
Due to Amar's proximity to the equator, which lies about {{convert|255|km|mi|sp=us}} north of the city, the local climate is marked by consistent warmth throughout the year. Winters do not bring cold days, and instances of intense polar air masses affecting the city are infrequent, although they have been recorded, notably in August 1961. These rare occurrences can lead to temporary temperature drops, occasionally reaching {{convert|18|C|F}} or lower. The city's closeness to forested inland regions and the moderating influence of cool coastal air collectively mitigate temperature extremes while contributing to the city's overall humid character. | |||
