October - December

October is a great month for a stop off at the Pantanal and also is a delightful time for visiting Rio, where spring is arriving, there are few clouds in the sky and the temperatures are on the rise. Summertime arrives in November, and you can expect high temperatures across the country. Rio de Janeiro tends to be hot and dry in December, but it can be very busy as visitors flock to the city to celebrate Christmas and New Year. Most of the northeast tends to experience similar hot and dry weather. Water levels in the Amazon are low in December.
