Climate and Best Time to Visit Penedo, Brazil

Like many parts of Brazil, the tropical climate in the state of Alagoas is primarily determined by two seasons: the dry season from August to February and the rainy season from March to July, with the most rainfall accumulating up to 250 mm (9.8 in) in May. During the dry season, on the other hand, there is very little rainfall with measurements of less than 50 mm (2 in).
The more interior regions of the state, characterized by the hot steppe climate of central Brazil, dry out considerably. Penedo, however, is located on the green strip of the coastal Mata Atlantica, which extends up to 60 km (37 mi) inland.
Temperatures in Penedo average at 25 °C (77 °F) year round. During the dry season it can get very hot and the thermometer climbs well over 30 °C (86 °F) without much mercy at night. Even throughout the rainy season, the night will only spare you down to around 20 °C (68 °F). As the humid climate comes off to many travelers as muggy, enjoying a fresh, ice-cold coconut on the riverbank offers the best refreshment.

As a cultural and artistic center, Penedo is an attractive tourist destination year round. The rainy season is quite short and lasts from March to July, while the other months from August to February witness very little rain. The driest period is in November, yet temperatures remain warm throughout the year.
