The climate of Salvador (Brazil)
Salvador or Salvador da Bahia is located in the south eastern part of
Brazil and is the capital of the federal state of Bahia. With almost 3
million residents Salvador is the third largest city in Brazil. In
1985 the historic city center became a Unesco world heritage site.
Salvador has almost 50 kilometers of beach; some of them are among the
best sandy beaches in the world. The city has many African influences
because slaves were brought here to cultivate local land.
Salvador has a tropical savannah climate with a distinct dry and wet
period. Local summers are pleasantly warm; the occasional heavy shower
tempers the climate. Because of an ever blowing sea wind the high
humidity figures are somewhat more bearable than in the interior. Cold
is uncommon in Salvador; the lowest temperature on record is 12
degrees Celsius.

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:
