Brazil, the biggest country in South America, has
an enormous extension and therefore a variety of climate zones. However,
in most parts of Brazil the weather is predominantly warm and humid. During
the Brazilian summer months (from October to March) it rains a lot in
the Amazon region in the north of the country. During this time you have
to be careful when traveling by car since some roads might be flooded.
The further south you go, the bigger the difference between summer and
winter. During some cold winter nights you might even see a little bit
of snow in the south of Brazil.
