Climate and Weather in Brasilia, Brazil

The climate of Brasilia

What is the capital of Brazil? Brasilia is located in the south of Brazil and is also the capital of the country. Brasilia is the brainchild of the urban planner Lucio Costa, who put the basic design for the city on paper in the middle of the last century, on behalf of the then president Juscelino Kubitschek. The city owes its face to the architect Oscar Niemeyer, who designed a number of buildings, the most famous of which is the Cathedral of Brasilia. But this is not the only architectural masterpiece in this city, Brasilia is full of it. The government of Brazil wanted the young city to have the appearance of a metropolis. In addition, the infrastructure also takes into account the large volumes of traffic passing through the city. There are therefore fewer traffic jams here than you would expect in a metropolis like this.

Brasilia has a tropical savanna climate according to the Köppen classification.
