It rains every day, at very regular intervals, starting and ending very suddenly. This is called "convectional rainfall", a term which describes how the rainfall comes about, because the sun heats the ground, which heats the air nearest the ground causing it to expand and rise, and then, when it reaches a certain height, condenses to form clouds and finally falling as rain. It is very common to have storms with this kind of convectional rainfall. This amount if rainfall is needed for support the delicate ecosystem of the rainforest.

How much does it rain in the amazon?
Amazonia receives about 9 feet of rain every year. Fifty percent of this returns to the atmosphere through the foliage of trees. Most of the Amazon River's water comes from the annual snowmelt high in the Peruvian Andes. Between June and October, the water level rises by 30 to 45 feet. Tens of millions of acres of rainforest are covered by water as the flood advances, reaching as far inland from the main channel as 12 miles. Hope this helps!
