Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the old centre, by the river, 9 km from the airport (BEL): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

March: about usual. Busiest in January.

Holidays crowd a place out; they count toward the crowd score above.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type C plugs at 127 / 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Brazilian real. UK Foreign Office: avoid all but essential travel to parts. Everything for Brazil: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Belém: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
