Climate in Brazil
Brazil doesn’t have one climate. It has a daily surprise system.
In this video, you’ll understand how the weather works across different regions of Brazil — and why it feels completely different from the “organized weather” many countries have. One moment it’s cold, then it’s summer, then it rains like the end of the world… and five minutes later it’s sunny again.
Besides learning how Brazilian climate actually behaves, you’ll also practice how to describe the weather in Portuguese using simple, real-life expressions.
This page also includes exercises and interactive games to help you review the vocabulary and use it naturally.
Welcome to Brazil. The weather changes. Your Portuguese improves. Complaining is optional… but recommended.
