Climate of Brazil
The climate in Brazil varies considerably from mostly tropical north (the equator traverses the mouth of the Amazon) to temperate zones south of the Tropic of Capricorn (23°26' S latitude): the bulk of the country is the warm wet rainforest in the Amazon, but with dry zones in the North East, and temperate grasslands in the South. Like other tropical climates, much of Brazil experiences separate dry season and wet season. The Southern coast occasionally experiences South Atlantic tropical cyclones. Historically Brazil has had ample access to water. However, with human development Brazil's climate has been subject to substantial change: deforestation in the Amazon is shifting climatic conditions, converting large zones from wet rainforest, into grassland that doesn't introduce as much moisture into the air as respiration from trees. This drying has significant consequences: amplifying extreme drought/flood cycles caused by global climate change in Brazil, reducing the ability of the rainforest...
