What to expect in Fortaleza in July

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

July is the heart of winter in Fortaleza. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 31 °C (88 °F): the heat calls for early starts, sunscreen, and spending the middle of the day in the shade or in the water. It is one of the busiest times of the year: the destination fills up, rates go up and the best hotels sell out early. Book ahead or choose weekdays. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Fortal into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
