The weather during my holiday was rainy for the most part, but that did not make me sad because I love this kind of weather. The temperature was also in the normal range when it's quite comfortable outside.
The summertime temperatures in Brazil are high, I don't like the heat, so the end of September is the perfect time for a holiday.
