Pack light! The weather in Jamaica and The Bahamas is delightful all year long. Daytime averages: 82°f, 28°C. Night time averages: 72°F, 22°C. The Brazilian winter is from June to August, with the coldest southern states receiving average winter temperatures of between 13 and 18°C (55 and 64°F). In summer (December to February), Rio is hot and humid, with temperatures in the high 30Cs (80Fs); the rest of the year, temperatures hover around 25°C (77°F). The northeast coast gets as hot as Rio but is less humid and stifling. In general, the highlands are less hot and humid, and are prone to summer rainfalls. The Amazon basin is the rainiest part of Brazil, and while it is humid, temperatures average a reasonable 27°C (80°F).
This depends where you are in the country. During the dry season (winter) temperatures are generally colder and can be downright freezing in the highlands (and well below freezing in the extreme south) and it can be pleasant in the lowlands. The wet season (summer) brings hot temperatures and humid conditions to the tropics and cold and wet conditions to the highlands. In the middle altitudes (the valleys) temperatures do not change in extremes like the highlands and lowlands. Winter (dry season) has the most beautiful climate and temperatures in the middle valley regions.
