Key facts
- Brazil spans multiple Köppen climate zones: equatorial (Af/Am) over the Amazon, tropical wet-and-dry savanna (Aw) across the central plateau, and subtropical/temperate zones in the south, below the Tropic of Capricorn
- The Amazon Basin has a hot, tropical climate with annual rainfall exceeding 3,000mm in some areas, though it has a three- to five-month dry season depending on location
- Seasonal variation is more pronounced in the south, which has marked thermal seasonality with colder winters and hot, humid summers, and precipitation spread fairly evenly through the year without a distinct dry season
