Rio de Janeiro’s Summer: Stay Cool & Enjoy the Sunshine!
December marks the peak of summer in Brazil, and Rio de Janeiro is known for its intense heat and strong sun.
Temperatures can soar to 40°C (104°F), making lightweight clothing essential, especially for outdoor sightseeing. Don’t forget your swimsuit—Rio’s stunning beaches are waiting for you!
While the city is warm, indoor venues are air-conditioned and can feel quite chilly, often around 20°C (68°F). A light jacket or sweater can help you stay comfortable when moving between the hot, sunny streets and cool, indoor spaces.
The sun in Rio is no joke—it’s extremely strong, and walking around the city can be exhausting if you’re not prepared.
Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and protect yourself from the heat so you can fully enjoy everything Rio has to offer!
