Rio de Janeiro

Travel to Brazil / Tours – The tropical savanna climate of Rio de Janeiro and adjacent Tijuca National Park, is characterized by a distinct cool - dry and warm - humid season, with an annual average temperature of 24 ° C (Köppen - Geiger climate classification Aw).

Interestingly, yearly average precipitation in Rio de Janeiro is less than half of Santos or Ubatuba. This is mainly due to the Guanabará Graben which pushes the Serra do Mar far to the inland. Therefore, the larger part of humid air masses from the Atlantic Ocean passes the city and just rains down in the mountains (see, for example Serra dos Órgãos).
