Brazilwhen to go
Brazil's national averages run from 28 °C in June to 31 °C in October, with rainfall between 41 mm in August and 184 mm in January and 5.7–7.5 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are July, August and May. Its 27 regions span 23–33 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal. Brazil is large enough that the map paints it as a mosaic of its regions rather than one national colour; the figures above are the mean of those regions.
