The climate of Fernando de Noronha (Brazil)
Fernando de Noronha is an archipelago consisting of 21 islands
situated off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. Together with
the Racos Atoll the complete archipelago is a UNESCO world heritage
site. During colonial times the island was under Dutch rule. The
island was called Pavonia, named after the Dutch Michiel de Pauw who
was a WIC administrator. Fernando de Noronha has become very popular
among tourists. Nowadays it is one of the most popular destinations in
Brazil. Tourists come here to enjoy the many beaches. Diving and
snorkeling are popular activities as well because of the unique
underwater world. Several species of sea turtles, sharks, rays,
barracudas and dolphins live here. Fernando de Noronha has a tropical
climate with a rainy season that lasts for six months. High
temperatures in combination with high precipitation figures may cause
things to feel muggy. However, this is somewhat moderated by a
constant sea wind. The sea wind also influences temperatures which
will hardly ever rise above 30 degrees Celsius and hardly ever drop
below 10 degrees Celsius.

extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
