The climate of Ponta Negra (Brazil)
Ponta Negra is one of the most famous beaches in Brazil situated in
the popular tourist seaside resort of Natal. The high dunes along the
beach give the beach a picture postcard scenery during sunset. As a
matter of fact the scenery is often used on postcards. The dune on the
south side of the beach is called Morro do Careca which means bare
hill. This beach is also situated on the main boulevard of Natal:
theSenador Dinarte Mariz Avenue, also known as Via Costeira.
Just like Natal Ponta Negra has a tropical savannah climate with a
distinct wet and dry period. The rainy period is from January till
June. Because of the presence of the south easterly trade wind there
are no extremes in temperatures here. Subzero temperatures and snow do
not occur here. Temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius are uncommon.
The trade wind makes the high humidity figures during summer somewhat
more bearable.

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:
