Writer's Note — David Chen

Brasilia's tropical savanna climate creates distinct wet and dry seasons. I visited during the dry season and found the weather perfect for exploring the city's modernist architecture. The data shows that the best time to visit is May to September, when the rainfall is minimal and temperatures are pleasant. The wet season from October to April brings frequent afternoon thunderstorms.
