What to expect in Recife in June

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

June is the heart of winter in Recife. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 29 °C (84 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. Crowds sit somewhere in the middle, with peaks on public holidays. Outside those dates, you can enjoy the place at an easy pace and spend less. It rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting São João into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
