Most regions in Brazil receive a moderate annual precipitation ranging between 900 mm and 1600 mm.Temperatures fluctuate over the year, with winter monthly averages resting between 13°C and 18°C. Summer can see temperatures soaring to between 30°C and 40°C in places like Rio de Janeiro and southern regions. These high temperatures, coupled with frequent showers, can result in significant humidity.
While Brazil is appealing year-round, the months from June to September come highly recommended. For much of the country, this period is marked by the least rainfall, milder temperatures and optimal travel conditions.
