Brasília experiences a tropical savanna climate with two distinct seasons: a wet season from October to April and a dry season from May to September. The city enjoys relatively stable temperatures year-round, with highs ranging from 77°F to 84°F and lows from 57°F to 65°F. The wet season brings substantial rainfall, particularly from November to March when monthly precipitation exceeds 7 inches, while the dry season is remarkably arid with June and July receiving only 0.1 inches each. The dry season offers clear skies and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing. The wet season, while humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms, brings lush green landscapes and is still quite pleasant for travel, though visitors should be prepared for daily rain showers.
