weather

The best time to visit Rio de Janeiro for vibrant energy and sun-drenched beaches is January, the peak of summer in Brazil. Temperatures average between 26°C and 33°C, with high humidity and occasional tropical showers, usually brief and refreshing. The city pulses with life during this season, from golden afternoons on Ipanema to samba-filled nights. Lush landscapes, warm ocean waters, and a festive atmosphere make January ideal for movement, celebration, and full immersion in Rio’s rhythm.
