Brasilia - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
It's been described as southern california with more rain - pretty darn nice. It's about 80s' year-round, half the year more humid and the other half more dry. It's nice to mix it up. The pools aren't heated generally, so they can be a bit cold to use for some months, but then other months the water will seriously reach 100 degrees by itself and be like a hot tub even at night. - Jan 2024
Almost perfect: 70s to low 80s most of year and lots of sun. rainy season makes everything green again after the long dry (but not too hot) season - Oct 2021

Hot, sunny. During rainy season (September - March), it rains, but not usually all day. - Mar 2017
There isn't a more perfect place for weather--it is never too hot or cold. Winter can mean long sleeves in the morning, summers from 2-4 PM can get hot, but it is never intolerable. Even the rain is great. Brasilia is situated on an elevated plateau which protects it from the high heats of Rio. - May 2016
Beautiful year round. It's either rainy season or not. 70s to 80s temperature, low humidity, brilliant sunshine. - Aug 2015
Winter is typically low 60s F in the early morning to upper 70s and low 80s in the afternoon. Winter is really dry and so you should drink plenty of water. Summer gets a lot of rain, usually, although there are bouts of dryness as well, and gets from 70-90s. It's humid, but not unbearably so. The only problem are the insects. - Aug 2015
There is a wet season (Sep. - Mar.) and a dry season (Apr. - Aug.). The wet season will have some rain every day except for December, but it is normally just in the afternoon. It may rain continually for a couple of days, but not for the whole season. The dry season gets increasingly dry until there isn't a drop of rain for a couple of months. September is the hottest month of the year, with highs in the upper 80sF. Overnight lows are in the upper 60s. The rest of the rainy season has highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. The dry season has highs in the upper 70s and lows ovenght can get down to about 58F, but we mostly see temps between 65-75F. - Aug 2015
The climate is one of the best things about Brasilia. There are two seasons: dry (roughly May - October) with a hot sun, warm days and cool nights when it simply does not rain, making camping trips and afternoon BBQs completely worry-free; and rainy (November - April) when a tropical afternoon rain storm is common most days, and a 2-day, non-stop rain storm flares up every 2-3 weeks. - Sep 2012
Rainy season and dry season. The dry season gets pretty miserable toward the end, when humidity levels can drop to 10%. - Dec 2011

The dry season is very dry and some have headaches from not drinking enough, but my family was ok. The rainy season sounds worse than it is - it pours for an hour or two a day and that's it. - Nov 2009
