Manaus records record temperature in 2026 with 38.6°C

Quick Look

Manaus reached 38.6°C this Tuesday (22), surpassing the annual temperature record and marking the first day above 38°C in 2026, according to Inmet.
Low humidity during drought increases the conversion of solar energy into heat, raising surface temperatures.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Manaus faces a dry period, with low soil and vegetation humidity, which reduces evaporation and increases the conversion of solar energy into heat, raising surface temperatures.

Font size

Manaus exceeded 38°C for the first time in 2026, this Tuesday (22). Thermometers registered 38.6°C at 3pm, according to data from the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet). The temperature also represents a new heat record for the year in the capital of Amazonas. The mark exceeds by 1°C the 37.6°C recorded on September 1st, until then the highest temperature of 2026.

During the dry period, lower soil and vegetation humidity also changes the way solar energy is used. With less water available for evaporation, a greater portion of this energy is converted into heat, raising the temperature near the surface.

Open Questions

How long is this heat wave expected to persist?
What are the impacts on the health of the local population?
