Question

What is the weather in Rio like?

Answer

June is the beginning of winter in Brazil, but winters here are very mild and pleasant. You can generally expect warm, comfortable days and cooler evenings. Average daytime temperatures are around 75–82°F (24–28°C), while evenings may drop to 65–70°F (18–21°C). June is also one of the drier months, so it’s usually sunny with lower humidity.

Question

What should I pack for the trip?

Answer

Rio’s style is generally relaxed but stylish, so think light, breathable fabrics and colorful outfits that fit the tropical setting. Here are some suggestions: - Light summer clothing (dresses, skirts, linen shirts, short sleeves) - Comfortable walking shoes or sandals. *side note: get yourself some Havaianas in Rio, they’re the best flip flops to wear around and you’ll feel like a true Carioca. - A light jacket or sweater for evenings - Sunglasses and lots of sunscreen - Swimwear if you plan to enjoy the beach or hotel pools

The official currency in Brazil is the Brazilian Real (BRL). Exchange rates fluctuate, but currently 1 USD is roughly equivalent to about 5.20 BRL.
