What weather to expect in Southeast
Southeast is part of Brazil. Brazil is a huge country, so the climate is varied here. Mostly the climate is tropical, but temperate in south. Near the equator the weather doesn't change much during the year, but winters are sometimes cold in the south. And in the mountainous it snows. Most of Brazil has only moderate rainfall, but the Amazon region is humid.

When travelling around Southeast, always consider the altitude of the the place as well. We should remind you, that the highest point in Brazil is Pico da Neblina (2994 m) and the lowest point is Atlantic Ocean (0 m). So there are quite big differences in altitudes in this country, so you can expect the weather to be different in different altitudes as well. Keep in mind, that the temperature usually decreases by 1.2 - 1.9 ℃ (2.2 - 3.5 ℉) per 200 m (656 ft), depending on the other conditions. (And we should add, that in the very special condition named thermal inversion even the temperature may be higher in higher altitudes.)
