The climate of Recife (Brazil)
Recife is located in the most southern tip of Brazil on the banks of
the rivers Beberibe and Capibaribe in the state of Pernambuco. Recife
is adjacent to the historical town of Olinda. The city center of
Olinda has been a Unesco world heritage site for many years. Over the
past few years Recife has become more and more popular among tourists.
The city has invested a lot in the improvement of beaches and the
surrounding areas. Unfortunately, over the last few years Recife has
been in the news in a negative way because of the extremely high
numbers of shark attacks. In 2014 Recife is one of the host cities for
the soccer world championship.
Recife has a tropical savannah climate with warm to hot temperatures
and high humidity figures all year round. Because of the presence of a
trade wind there are hardly any extremes in temperatures. January is
the warmest month with temperatures between 24-31 degrees Celsius.
July is the coldest month with temperatures between 21-26 degrees
Celsius. Recife gets quite a lot of rain; about 1,500 millimeters per
year. The dry season is from September to January. The difference
between the wet and the dry season is more distinct here than in the
more southerly located cities.

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:
