How could the summer olympics be in Brazil?

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.

No. international Cup? Yeah. The Olympics are in hassle-free terms ever basically a night clip on the top of the day that i'm compelled to comprehend approximately from media bombardment. not somewhat into it. China cheats. no person stops them. no person cares. ...yet they're going to strip a medal from a shot-putter from some tiny imprecise us of a. Ugh.

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

Don't worry, they'll time the Games so that they coincide with summer in Brazil.

Yes, but their weather is very nice. I checked the averages and the weather will be absolutely perfect for the summer games.

Find the equator, now find brazil. Does that answer your question?

The same way as it was held in Australia.

That's a really interesting point; I never thought of it that way.

So even though it was a nod to Latin America for their first pick, it still is Northern Hemisphere-centric.
