What to expect in Natal in July

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

July is the heart of winter in Natal. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 28 °C (82 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. 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. It rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days.
