CLIMATE / BEACHES
|
|
Most of Brazil lies South of the Equator, as a result there is very
little seasonal variation. The climate is comfortably temperate in
most of the country and refreshing sea breezes often blow along the
coast almost all year round. With the temperatures usually ranging
from 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 30 degrees Centigrade),
casual spring and summer clothes are appropriate for almost every
region and occasion. In Rio, summer runs from December though March
with temperatures ranging from 25C (77F) to 42C while winter runs
from June though to August when temperatures can drop to around 20C
(68F) in the day and cool 16C (60F) at night.
Beach: Brazilians only carry a towel, sun
tan oil or sun block and a small amount of money to the beach. We
suggest you to do the same. Avoid swimming far from the shore and be
careful with overexposure to the sun, if your skin is sensitive, you
should avoid the beach from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Remember, you are in a
tropical country.
