The climate in Brazil varies from place to place, there's equatorial and subtropical, and even tropical. Brazil's coastline can be traveled year-round. Winter happens only in the extreme south (São Paulo and below), the temperature drops below +10 °C. And you won't expect frost or even zero degrees. The rainy season means more of an increased cloudiness and is not much of a hindrance to travel. In Rio de Janeiro, it lasts from January to March, in Salvador from April to June.
Brazil's high season is New Year's Eve and the carnival parades in February. You won't catch the low season in Brazil, unless you keep a close eye on the conditions in each region. When to go to Brazil? Contact tripmydream and we'll find you the perfect tour for any time of year.
Spring and fall in Brazil are the times when it's best to go for city tours. During this period, the climate is mild and dry enough (depending on the month) to visit any excursion city, but the Amazon is best traveled in winter, when the water level rises.
When to vacation on Brazil's coast also depends on your goals. If you don't mind the heat and humidity, go for January and February. If you want cooler temperatures and waves, look to July and August. The period when it's definitely cheaper to fly to Brazil is also the Brazilian "summer" winter, from June to August.
Brazil vacations in winter
When we have winter, in Brazil it is summer. Because of this, there is a lot of confusion about what to call summer and what to call winter. We will rely on our idea of winter and summer months, and on the Brazilian idea of seasons.
The weather in Brazil in winter is hot and humid. Even Rio de Janeiro gets rain, though not as thick as in the jungles in the Amazon region. Temperatures hover around +30°C, so you won't encounter stifling heat. But keep in mind that humidity is high and you may not be able to bear the change of climate too easily.
You can visit oceanfront resorts, Porto de Galinas, Natal, Fortaleza and others. February is also a time for festivals across the country, starting in Rio and rolling through many Brazilian cities. Check out the section on Brazilian seaside vacations and choose what works for you.

June, July, and August are the Brazilian winter. The average temperature in June and August is +21-25°C during the day, +18-21°C at night, and the water warms up to +20°C.

Somewhere there is a risk of encountering high waves. If you can hardly tolerate acclimatization at a sharp change of temperature, it is better to fly in June - August. Tours, hotels, and airfares are less expensive at this time.
It's good to rest at this time in Florianapolis. By the way, it's the dry season and the best time for jungle hiking. And there are fewer mosquitoes than in the rainy season, and the trails are dry. For water tourism in the Amazon, the period is not the best, the water level drops seven meters even in the great Amazon.
But the fishing is excellent because of the low water levels in the rivers! The Iguazu waterfalls are not very popular at this time. It can be quite cool, from +10°C to +25°C. The waterfalls are not as full as in the rainy season. Devote your Brazilian vacation at this time to explore the historical, cultural sights of the country.
