What is the Weather in Brazil like?
Ans. Brazil is a large country with five climatic regions. Rio de Janeiro, Recife, and Salvador on the coast have warm climates balanced by the constancy of the Trade Winds, so that there doesnt seem to be distinct seasons in this region. Although summer is between May and November, along the Atlantic coast from Recife to Rio de Janeiro, mean temperature in the year range from 73F (23C) to 81F (27C). Most of Brazil has moderate rainfall of between 39 to 59 inches (1,000 to 1,500 millimeters) a year, with most of the rain falling in the summer. The winters tend to be dry, albeit cooler.
