08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
June is the start of winter and the mildest month, with afternoons around 26 °C, cool mornings, sunny days and the Festa Junina street parties with forró music, bonfires and quentão mulled wine in the squares and the samba school quadras. Corpus Christi is a Thursday holiday with a long weekend. Rain is rare, on about six days. Cariocas wear jackets; visitors find it ideal.
The Rio Marathon in June closes the beachfront avenues for a morning. The sea cools to 23 °C. The Christ the Redeemer is clear on most mornings. The Valongo wharf and the Museum of Tomorrow in the port are the cultural circuit. Daylight is around ten and a half hours at the solstice. For the dry school-holiday month with the whales at Búzios, see July.
