When to go, and when not to
May, June, July, and August stand out as the best months to visit Brasília, combining the least rainfall with the most sunshine hours of the year, ranging from about 10.7 to 11.0 hours of sunshine per day. These months also bring cooler overnight lows, dropping into the mid-teens Celsius, which makes daytime sightseeing more comfortable.
Because these same months form the peak season, travelers should expect the city to be busier and should book ahead accordingly. The trade-off for visiting outside this window is more rain, with November and December each averaging well over 180mm of rainfall and January not far behind, so travelers who choose the off-season months should plan for wetter days in exchange for a quieter trip.
