What to expect in Porto de Galinhas in December
Editor's tip
December finds Porto de Galinhas in the middle of summer. 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 New Year's Eve in Porto de Galinhas into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
