Climate



Brazil is known for its Amazon Rain forest. Its a hot and humid country dealing with 2,000 millimeters of rain annually. Northeast Brazil is a very dry and hot region that experiences droughts periodically. 

Seasonality
Manaus: 28 degrees C - 26 degrees C = 2 degrees C
             298mm - 46mm = 252mm 
Rio de Janeiro: 26 degrees C - 21 degrees C = 5 degrees C
                        137mm - 45mm = 92mm
Denver: 23 degrees C - 1 degree C = 22 degrees C
             58mm - 12mm = 46mm
Brazil goes through all four seasons but It receives way more rainfall and it is drastically hotter than it is in Denver. Brazil is on the opposite side of the equator from the U.S. and its seasons are opposite. When it is summer in the U.S. it is winter in Brazil. When its summer in Brazil it is winter in the U.S.  
Brazil receives high portions of rainfall throughout the whole country. Some parts receive more moisture than others but they are all tropical regions. The only part that is dry and deals with drought is the Northeast region because it lies close to the equator. This part on the map above is in yellow labeled equatorial. which means near the equator.
