The extreme expansion in the southern hemisphere leads to different climatic zones in Brazil . Most of the regions and areas have a tropical and subtropical climate . In addition, the seasons in Brazil are opposite to those in Europe. Means: If summer is with us, the Brazilians have winter time and vice versa. Roughly, the closer you get to the equator, the fewer fluctuations there are between the temperatures over the course of the year and the more humid and humid it is. For the other direction, towards the south of Brazil, the temperature fluctuations between the seasons are greater.

Climate and weather in southwest Brazil
In the southwest is the popular Pantanal . The climate in the southwest of Brazil is tropical and is divided into a dry and a rainy season. The rainy season is from October to March and the dry season from April to September. The temperatures in the two times hardly differ from each other. The difference lies in the precipitation. During the rainy season there is often heavy rainfall and means that roads and entire areas in the Pantanal cannot be passed. In the rainy season, the maximum temperatures are around 32 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are also prevalent in the dry season. However, it rains less and it can cool down a lot during the nights. The hours of sunshine are at their maximum from April to September. In the rainy season, the sun is less visible.

Climate and weather in northeastern Brazil
The climate on the coast in northeast Brazil is similar to that in the north . Temperatures are over 30 degrees Celsius all year round.

At night it is still warm with up to 23 degrees all year round and it does not cool down too much. In northeastern Brazil , the rainy season starts at the beginning of the year and lasts until the middle of the year.
