Tropical Variance
Salvador's current weather conditions
(updated every several hours or so; measured at the
airport) are brought to you here courtesy of
weatherunderground.com. As the banner suggests, clicking
will bring up a (nine day) forecast (and plenty of
advertising!).
Salvador da Bahia is, of course, a
tropical city, with a southerly latitude of 12 degrees 58
minutes (the Central American country of Guatemala is
positioned at a corresponding northerly latitude). So
while the weather tends towards glorious, there are
seasonal variations, and the tropical sun is a force to
be reckoned and dealt carefully with (this and some
common misperceptions are dealt with in Frequently
Asked Questions).
Bahian nights are the stuff that dreams
are made of, like nights in the Garden of Eden. This
isn't true one hundred percent of the time of
course (they can be rainy, or occasionally too humid),
but the vast majority are soul-nurturing meteorlogical
perfection. |
