CLIMATE, TEMPERATURES AND RAIN IN BRAZIL

BRAZILIAN CLIMATE MAP

We may consider five big climatic regions in Brazil:

The Amazon Basin region (1), with an equatorial climate characterized by agreeable temperatures but plenty of rain and humidity.

The Northeastern Coastlands (2) from Fortaleza to the Bahian south coast, with an all year round travel climate pattern.

The Rio de Janeiro, Vitoria and Sao Paulo coast (3), with a hybrid pattern.

The South States Region (4), with a temperate four season climate pattern; and

The Inland Plateau (5), from the northeast inland to the Pantanal, with a hard dry season and more extreme temperatures.

The map above shows the rough configuration of these five climatic regions. Obviously, there are transitional zones and some significant variations within each climate region.

There are no excessively high temperatures. Temperatures above 37° C/100° F are truly rare. Only humidity can be unpleasant to unaccustomed people.

Belem (at the mouth of the Amazon) and Manaus (at the very heart) are very representative of the climate patterns of the Amazon.

BRAZIL, NORTHEAST COAST (BAHIA, RECIFE, FORTALEZA): TEMPEATURES, RAINS, WEATHER, CLIMATE  

The Brazilian Northeast coast covers a long territory of around 1900 miles (3000 Kms). The temperatures are agreeable all along this vast coast and the humidity relatively small. But the more northward destinations (namely northward Fortaleza) are wetter.
