Belém's Climate
Belém sits almost on the equator in northern Brazil, right where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic, and has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af). It is hot and humid all year, with remarkably steady temperatures usually between 24°C and 32°C and very high humidity across all twelve months. Rather than four seasons, Belém has a wetter season (December–May) and a less-wet season (June–November), but even the drier stretch delivers afternoon showers and thunderstorms on most days. Short, intense tropical downpours are the city's signature.
