Best time to visit Recife

October is the best month in Recife, scoring 73 out of 100, with March the weakest at 46. The 27-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs August to December — 5 months within ten points of the best.

February is the warmest month at 31.3 °C and July the coolest at 27.1 °C — a 4.2 °C spread across the year. 174 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. April to August carry the rain — up to 26 wet days in a month — while October to December drop as low as 6. That 20-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Recife, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea never drops below 26.4 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.6 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are October, November, September. The one to think twice about is March. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
