The climate of Brasilia (Brazil)
Brasilia is located in the southern part of Brazil and is the capital of the country. Brasilia is the brainchild of the urban planner Lucio Costa who planned the city in the 1950s commissioned by the then president Juscelino Kubitschek. The skyline of Brasilia was designed by Oscar Niemeyer who designed a number of buildings in the city, the best known one is probably the cathedral of Brasilia. However, there are many more beautiful buildings because the city is very young and the government wanted it to have the character of a metropolis. When planning the city they also allowed for the large amounts of traffic the city had to cope with. Because of this there is far less congestion than you would expect from a metropolis. Brasilia has a tropical savannah climate according to the Köppen climate classification. The dry season is from the end of March, or early April till the end of September or early October. However, some precipitation can be expected in May. Temperatures are pleasantly mild all year round. Temperatures hardly ever drop below 5 degrees Celsius or rise above 30 degrees Celsius. June, July and August are the driest months and get the most hours of sunshine.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
