“Summer is already here”: the season begins this Saturday and promises a combination of heat and lots of rain


The hottest season of the year welcomes Brazil this Saturday 21st at 6:20 am and ends March 20, 2025 at 6:02 am




Those who love summer can now set their alarm: at 6.20am on this Saturday the 21st, the hottest season of the year welcomes Brazil. The turning point marks the end of an unstable and rainy spring in much of the country. The bad news is that anyone who thought they were “getting rid” of the rains is wrong. In 2025 the solar season will be warm, but the humid corridors will also bring strong storms.

Not so sunny days



The Brazilian summer will be unstable in 2025

If this season were a song, perhaps it would start with the famous lines: Summer is already painted / Warmth in the heart…”, of music Baianidade Nagôfrom Banda Mel. This is because this idea that solar energy brings good vibrations in the hottest season of the year is part of the popular and cultural imagination.

For those who love this sensation, the period is closer than you think. Summer in Brazil begins on December 21, 2024 at 6:20 am and ends on March 20, 2025 at 6:02 am. This means that, during this period, Brazilian lands will have sunnier days and longer nights.

However, the meteorologist Danielle Barros Ferreirafrom the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET), explains that the summer of 2025 will not have as many 100% sunny days as imagined. The reason is the combination of heat and high humidity, which favors the occurrence of heavy rainfall and moderate to strong winds, as well as electrical discharges.

“During this season, humid corridors are formed that go from the south of the Amazon through the Central-West and South-East regions, which cause consecutive days of rain and which can generate many inconveniences”, warns the meteorologist in an interview with Earth.

Brazilian summer begins in December

So-called “summer rains” are expected to cool much of the country in the coming months, but these will be faster and more dynamic weather events. This means that the ‘sun’ and blue sky, characteristic of the period, will also appear for Brazilians.

In the summer of 2025, unsustainable “heat” should not be part of the routine of Southerners and Northerners. South-East Region. Due to the absence of phenomena such as El Niño or La Niña this season, the climate is expected to be more unstable and with fewer extremes.

According to the INMET meteorologist, the expected temperatures will be close to the historical average in the south of the country and, more precisely, in the eastern part of the south-east. According to Danielle, this will happen “due to the entry of cold fronts and the formation of humid corridors from the Amazon region, which favor the occurrence of consecutive days with rain, reducing the temperature.

Throughout the summer, the forecast indicates precipitation volumes above 180 mm/month in the Southeast, mainly in the State of Sao Paulo, southern Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. The blows, however, do not mean a gray summer.

Even with thunderstorms forecast, the capitals of the South East will also have sunny days. The “heat”, according to Danielle, should be due to the areas of western Minas Gerais and São Paulo.

A major tourist destination during the high season, Rio de Janeiro should welcome its visitors with an open climate during part of the summer, although temperatures should not be too high. Instead of full sunshine, the wonderful city will have less ‘blue’ and more sultry days.

The logic is the same for other capitals in the South East, such as Sao Paulo, and throughout the country. The meteorologist is the one who guarantees Ana Clara Marquesfrom Climatempo: “Next summer will not be as hot as last summer, which broke heat records. There will be some peaks in temperatures but then they will decrease, with more frequent variations.”

Another characteristic of summer 2025 is the period of respite between one week of heat and another. “There is less chance of having two weeks of, say, high temperatures. The climate will fluctuate more, although, on average, it should maintain its summer behavior,” explains the Climatempo specialist.
