According to Mathgeneral, Brazil’s climate varies noticeably depending on the region. The main travel season is the European winter (December to March), when it is usually very hot and the temperature can rise to 43 ° C.
The main season starts just before Christmas and lasts until Carnival. Carnival usually falls between February and early March, depending on the year. During this time the country tends to be very crowded, so you should book accommodation and flights in advance. The prices in Brazil are very high, especially on New Year’s Eve and during Carnival. This time is the best time to travel to Brazil because the weather is good and the temperatures are warm.
