Although 90 per cent of Brazil is within the tropics, more tam 60 per cent of the population lives in areas where altitude, sea winds, or polar fronts moderate the temperature. There are five climatic regions in Brazil: equatorial, tropical, semi-arid, highland tropical and subtropical. Plateau cities such as São Paulo, Brasília and Belo Horizonte have milder climates averaging 19°C (66°F). Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Natal and Salvador on the coast have warmer climates balanced by the Trade Winds. Rio, for example, has an average temperature of around 26°C (80°F) which will climb into the high 30s-low 40s (over 100°F) during the summer months. In the southern Brazilian cities of Porto Alegre and Curitiba, the subtropical climate is similar to parts of the US and Europe, with frosts occurring in the winter months (July-August) when temperatures can fall below freezing. Summers are hot, however.

Despite the popular image of the Amazon as a region of blistering heat, temperatures rarely rise above 32°C (90°F).

 In fact, the annual average temperature in the Amazon region is between 22-26°C (72-79°F), with only a very small seasonal variation between the warmest and the coldest months. The hottest part of Brazil is the northeast, with average daytime temperatures of between 23-27°C (73-81°F). Inland, on higher ground, temperatures are lower, ranging from 18-21°C (64-70°F). South of Rio, the seasons are more noticeable and the annual range of temperature greater. The average temperature for this part of the country is between 17-19°C (63-66°F).

Seasons in Brazil are the reverse of those in Europe and the US:

• Spring: 22 September to 21 December
• Summer: 22 December to 21 March
• Autumn: 22 March to 21 June
• Winter: 22 June to 21 September
