<p>I'm a Brazilian native. Here, the English translation to the most didactic way to express the Amazon seasons are: "rainy season", and "less rainy season", because it always rains a lot, but there is a period when there is less. Does anyone know if this is the best way to express this in English scientific language? </p>
