Temperatures in the north (from Rio up) reach temperatures close to 40 degrees at this time of year, and a more pleasant average of 25 during the rest of the year. To the South of Rio, summer temperatures average about 30 degrees, and in the winter it gets down to around 15 degrees. Tropical storms are common all over the country in the summer months.
