Brazil has an incredibly diverse climate. This is due to its massive size, along with other factors such as temperature, altitude, barometric pressure and proximity to the ocean. It's got conditions suitable for everyone!

It has a predominantly tropical climate; 92% of the country is located between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. It also has equatorial and subtropical strips (temperate zones) distributed over the remaining 8% of the country.

The seasons in Brazil (excluding the north) are the exact opposite of those in Europe and the USA.

In the north the average annual temperature is around 28ºC. In the south, it's a lot cooler in comparison; it stays around 20ºC.

Extreme temperatures are rare but occasionally do happen. Sometimes we get frost and snow in the south and during mid summer, temperatures in Rio ca get up to a sizzzling 40ºC.

In general, Brazil has an excellent climate. With average temperatures exceeding 20°C, it's the perfect year round destination.
