Fortaleza's Climate

Fortaleza is an Atlantic port city in northeastern Brazil, sitting just south of the equator so temperatures stay warm and steady all year. Its climate is tropical, split into two main seasons by rainfall rather than temperature. The rainy season (January–May, peaking in March–April) brings heavy showers, thunderstorms and cloudier skies, while the dry season (July–December) is almost rain-free, sunny and clear. Daytime highs hover around 28–32°C throughout the year, tempered by near-constant trade winds blowing in off the ocean. High humidity and strong sunshine are the city's signature traits.
