CLIMATE

Thanks to its tropical and subtropical climate, Brazil is an all-year round shooting destination.
The Brazilian winter lasts for only three months from June to August. Most parts of Brazil have moderate to low annual rainfall of between 500 and 1200 mm.
The temperature varies within a year with monthly averages in winter between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius (59 and 71 degrees Fahrenheit). During the summer, temperatures can reach 26 to 36 degrees Celsius (78 to 97 degrees Fahrenheit) into the southern regions. Fortaleza and most of the north east has a humid tropical climate, but with a well-defined dry season, with high and stable temperatures throughout the year, mitigated by the breath of the winds that come from the sea.
