Brazil weather reviews

I had a chance to visit Rio de Janeiro. I went in July, and you know, the weather turned out to be similar to our summer, because this is a winter month in Brazil. Accordingly, it was not very hot, on average about 25 degrees, on some days it reached up to 30°C. Sunbathed on the sunny Ipanema beach with a beautiful view of the mountains. The water in the ocean was a little cool, but you could swim. There were cloudy days, but no heavy rains. In general, the trip turned out to be exciting.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is considered a city with some of the most stunning scenery not only in South America, but in the entire world. Situated in a prime location, Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, both symbols of the city, dominate both the Atlantic coast and Guanabara Bay, stretching 19 miles to Niteroi and São Gonçalo. July is the coolest month of the entire year, but the average temperature still does not fall below 21°C. The nights this month become cool to 18°C, which is the lowest night temperature of any month, indicating the excellent climate that Rio enjoys. During the day the temperature rises to 25°C. These temperatures typically persist for a month.

I was on holiday in Rio de Janeiro in January of this year. I chose this month because I wanted to see the famous carnival that takes place at the end of January - beginning of February. The weather in January was mostly hot and humid. The temperature during the day reached 30-35 degrees, and at night dropped to 25-28 degrees. The air was very humid, sometimes more than 80%. There were also rainy days, especially in the second half of the month, when there were heavy downpours and thunderstorms. But the rains were usually short-lived and did not interfere with enjoying the holiday. I liked that the weather was warm and sunny and I could swim in the ocean, sunbathe on the beach and visit various attractions. The sea was warm and clean, about 25 degrees. I visited the famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Mount Corcovado, which offers stunning views of the city. I also took the cable car to the Pan de Azúcar mountain where you can see beautiful sunsets. And, of course, I couldn't miss the carnival, which was an unforgettable sight. I didn't like that the weather was too humid and stuffy, and I often sweated and felt tired. I also didn't like it when it rained because it created dampness and mud everywhere. I also encountered some problems due to the holiday season. For example, prices for hotels, tickets and excursions were inflated, and the beaches and attractions were crowded. I think this weather is best for those who love active recreation and are not afraid of heat and humidity. January is a great time to visit Rio if you want to feel the carnival atmosphere and see the most famous places. But if you prefer a more relaxing and comfortable holiday, then I would recommend choosing a different month. I vacationed in Rio at another time, in September, and I liked it more. The weather was more moderate and pleasant, about 25 degrees during the day and 20 at night. The air was less humid and there was less rain. The sea was cool but still suitable for swimming. The city was less crowded with tourists and prices were lower. I could calmly enjoy the beauty of the city. Overall, I was happy with my holiday in Rio in January, but I wouldn't go there again at this time. I would prefer to visit Brazil in September, when the weather is more comfortable and the city is more calm.
