Recife’s tropical and humid weather is somewhat meliorated by oceanic trade winds. The city is south of the equator, which means the seasons are flipped. There is not much seasonal variation in temperature though. There’s winter, with somewhat cool nights, and then there’s the rest of the year. It rains the most in July, and November is the driest month, but it still rains. Temperature breakdowns are as follows:

• Summer (November – March): The hottest months, with temperatures peaking at 30.1 degrees Celsius in January, but dipping to 22 degrees Celsius regularly throughout the summer.
• Winter (April – September): Temperatures in the coolest month, July, range from between 21 to 27 degrees Celsius on average.
