Seasons of the Year Seasons in Brazil
Brazil is an attractive and unforgettable country to visit in any season. The country has the Equator in the North, the Tropic of Capricorn in the South, the Atlantic washing the coastline in the East. That’s a paradise world you want to return again and again.
Amazon Plain occupies a wide aria of the country. Archaeologists say Amazonia once was a bottom of giant sea. Surprisingly, this puzzle land is not well researched. There’s a number of unfooted places never seen by human.
The summer in Brazil lasts the whole year round. Due to the Equator average year air temperature is 77~82,4 degrees Fahrenheit (+27~28 °C). It’s a little bit colder in the South mountain part, it’s a little bit warmer in the central part, and coastline air is always very humid. Winter differs from summer with the high quantity of rains only.
Brazilians adore holidays and know how to celebrate ‘em. The holidays may be for all the country (state holidays) or just for one part of it but they’re always colorful and fun.
