What to expect in Angra dos Reis in May
Editor's tip
May brings fall to Angra dos Reis. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 27 °C (81 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. Crowds sit somewhere in the middle, with peaks on public holidays. Outside those dates, you can enjoy the place at an easy pace and spend less. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Feast of the Divine Holy Spirit (Festa do Divino Espírito Santo) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
