It's Brazil, not Argentina. Look at a map. Rio has a tropical climate.

In the so called winter in Brazil the temperature high averages around 72 degrees. The coldest it has ever got in Rio was 40 degrees in 1928. The average low is around 66 degrees.

Um, Brazil is closer to the Equator than you think.

Ninety percent of Brazil's landmass falls within the tropical zone, as the country is crossed by the equator in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south. However, the nation's climate is far from homogenous and ranges from equatorial to semiarid to subtropical. Because most of Brazil is in the southern hemisphere (northern Amazonas and Roriama excluded), summer occurs between December and March, while winter runs from June to August.

Look at a map. Rio is closer to the equator than S. Florida or the Caribbean.
