Brasília's INMET station record shows a sharp seasonal change in rainfall. The 1991 to 2020 normal is 1.5 mm in July and 253.1 mm in November. Temperatures also change across the year, with cooler average nighttime lows in winter. Use that pattern to inspect the home and plan your routine. Keep the current forecast and warnings separate from this historical station reference.

Know which location the record describes

INMET places station 83377 BRASILIA at latitude -15.78972221 and longitude -47.92583332, with elevation 1,161.42 meters. This chart summarizes historical observations, rather than live conditions.4,5,6,7,8

The monthly rows are the station's maximum temperature, minimum temperature, compensated mean temperature and accumulated rainfall normals. The chart uses the high, low and rainfall rows. The station's observations do not describe every home or microclimate across Distrito Federal.4,5,6,7,8

Use the contrast during the inspection

  • Check whether windows, screens and ventilation work in the rooms you will use every day.
  • Look for water marks, roof or window leaks and the route rainwater takes away from the entrance.
  • Ask who maintains air conditioning, seals, drains and any equipment included with the home.

A monthly rainfall normal does not establish humidity, air quality or the condition of a trail. Use current warnings and the venue's instructions for an outing. Read the emergency checks and the park details.1,4,5,6,7,8
