When to go Rio De Janeiro ?
The states of Rio and Minas Gerais can be visited and discovered all year round. While there are seasonal variations (watch out for the frosty weather in Ouro Preto), there are always places with mild climates and landscapes of enduring beauty. These are lands rich in events of all kinds, be they cultural, sporting, festive or religious. Some would say, with good reason, that it's where you want, when you want. It's curiosity anywhere, anytime.
In Rio, the climate is tropical Atlantic and the weather is therefore very seasonal. In summer, from December to March, it is hot in Rio... very hot indeed! This is the hottest time of the year, with temperatures reaching up to 40°C and a humidity level of 90%! Strong tropical thunderstorms can occur at the end of the day. In the winter, from June to September, the weather in Rio is milder, around 20-25°C, and some nights can be cool.
