The seasons are defined by flood and ebb. The Summer (wet) transforms the Pantanal into a vast flooded plain, while Winter (dry) is extremely dry, with relative humidity dropping below 20%. The Brazilian "winter" here is a desert-like season. | | Spring | October – November |
The only region with well-defined thermal seasons. Summer is hot (above 30°C), Autumn features foliage change (rare in Brazil), Winter brings frost, fog, and occasional snowfall (e.g., in São Joaquim). Spring is marked by severe thunderstorms and hail.
Brazil is a country of continental dimensions, featuring a wide range of climatic zones that defy the simplistic binary of “hot” or “cold.” This paper analyzes the seasonal patterns of Brazil, focusing on the meteorological definition of seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) relative to the country’s position in the Southern Hemisphere. It explores how seasonal manifestations vary across five distinct climatic regions: the Equatorial North, the Semi-arid Northeast, the Tropical Central, the High-Altitude Southeast, and the Subtropical South. The paper concludes that while Brazil experiences four theoretical seasons, their practical impacts—especially temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events—are dictated more by regional geography and the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) than by calendar dates.
