Rio de Janeiro Weather

During the summer (December through February), Rio can get very hot (40C/100F+). With humidity in addition, it can be quite stifling. However, the averages are usually between 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit, with February being the hottest month (right in time for Carnaval!). December usually has the highest average rainfall. Air conditioning can be found in buses, taxis and in most public buildings, but the best place to cool off is usually the beach. The weather cools down a bit during the winter months there, but you can enjoy Rio year-round. With the usually constant climate, you shouldn’t have too many surprises if you check what the weather should be before arriving in Brazil.
