The climate of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Rio de Janeiro is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro and is
located on the coast of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro is known for its
carnival, the immense statue of Jesus Christ looking out over the city
and its beaches with famous names such as Ipanema and Copacabana. Rio
de Janeiro is situated where a tropical savannah climate and a
moderate savannah climate meet. Temperatures are high enough all year
round to enjoy the beaches, tropical drinks, beach soccer and
beautiful women in miniscule bikinis. During the summer a rainy day
may spoil your day on the beach. During the winter it is most pleasant
in Rio de Janeiro, or Rio for short. The (local) winter is the best
time to visit Rio; also because the Brazilians do not have holiday
then so hotel prices are much lower than during the local summer.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
