Question

Please explain thoroughly

Answer 1

cause a rain forest is there

Answer 2

if you mean hot and moist is because they are close to the equator

Answer 3

Like all countries Brazil's climate is dictated by it geographical location

Answer 4

Brazil's absolute location has a direct affect on the climate from north to south across the country.

Much of Brazil lies within the tropics so most of the country has high temperatures all year round. Only where the land is higher in the south east and central west does the average temperature fall below 22ºC.

The south lies outside the tropics. Here the average temperatures are below 20ºC, winters are cool with some frosts and even snow.

Most of north and central Brazil does not experience seasons. The reason is that these parts of Brazil lie within the tropics, where during the day the sun is always high in the sky. Seasons are caused by changes in the angle of the sun at different times of the year, from high in the sky during the summer to low in the sky during our winter.

The seasons in Brazil are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. When the Northern Hemisphere is in the summer season Brazil, which is in the Southern Hemisphere, is in winter.  

Spring in Brazil is from September 22 to December 21

Summer in Brazil is from December 22 to March 21

Autumn in Brazil is from March 22 to June 21

Winter in Brazil is from June 22 to September 21

More important than seasons in north and central Brazil is the difference between day and night temperatures, the so-called diurnal range.

  

Most of Brazil receives between 1,000 to 2,000 millimeters of rain per year with most of it falling during the summer south of the Equator.  However, it certain regions of Brazil the rainfall can be as low as 400 millimeters. The Amazon region is very humid with generally more than 2,000 millimeters of rain per year. Rainfall is most intense around the mouth of the Amazon River reaching as high as 3,000 millimeters per year. It is less widely known that, despite high annual precipitation, the Amazon rain forest has a three to five month dry season, the timing of which varies according to location north or south of the equator.
