I was expecting that. You europeans may think that just because we are a tropycal nation, all places here are burning down under an unforgivable sun. But the true is not so. Probably all England higher records are too much more than mine. The record here was 37ºC. But normally we have 34º as year's highest one. The closeness to the sea and the high hills we are over are the reasons for our "spetacular rainfall". But the rain isn't as well spreaded as yours. Most of it falls from december to march, something like this:
JAN-380mm;FEB-250mm;MAR-180mm;APR-90mm;MAY-55mm;JUN-13mm;JUL-35mm;AUG-10mm;SEP-75mm;OCT-130mm;NOV-200mm;DEC-280mm
These data I put before aren't the historycal climatology, but what we've seen in the last couple of years(global changings). Winter months are the driest ones(July 2009 0,0mm, August 2007 0,0mm). But that doesn't means the whole country is under hottness and sun. Just for you to think about, here you are a real photo of a brazilian winter.

I swear to God this is a brazilian city. It's São Joaquim, the coldest city here. We also have snow, not as much as London or Washington
You are in the southern portion though. Much warmer in Salvador (where I have spent a few days in "winter"), let alone Teresina!
I've been in Rio on winter days a few times, haven't felt anything cold yet.

Although Sao Joaquim is a bit high altitude (1353 meters)...still an amazing pic for a location at 28 latitude!

I just forgot to write this down. But I think y'all got the message. Brazil it's a pretty warm place, but at the southern part, the climate seems more like south of Europe.
Just to finish this and get back to Washington-London non-stop, I will post here some records of Brazil:
Lowest temperature ever: Caçador(SC) June 1952 -14,7ºC/6.8ºF
Highest one: Bom Jesus(PI) Nov, 21 2005: 44,7ºC/112.4ºF
São Paulo
Lowest one: -2,1ºC/28.2ºF August 02 1955
Highest one: 35,3ºC/95.5ºF I don't know when. That's the official one(on a measure station stupidly located on the suburbs, away from downtown), unnoficial 37ºC Rio de Janeiro
Lowest one: 4ºC/39.2ºF August 02 1955(coldest wavering we've had. It's set most of country' records)
Highest one: 43,4º/110.2ºF Don't know when either.
Location: The western periphery of Terra Australis

That's it my friends.
Thanks for the stats, ricardo, I'm surprised Rio has almost got the national record for Brazil, and also that the record is so low: most of the Australian capital cities have seen 44C or above temps.

Yeah, Alice Springs is a lot warmer I know. The only thing in which Brazil has outstanding, is about frequency of high temperatures. Even in the winter, all over the country may set over 88ºF/30ºC. That's because at that time, a high pressure area settle in over continental South America and the cold front didn't last even 5 days.

I like Brazil's climate quite a bit at least as tropical climates go. Brazil seems very good at being hot without being painfully so. For example, Rio is at a similar latitude to Miami, but its summer seems much more pleasant. Going further north, places like Salvador are hot but don't seem to have 90+ humid heat that many other tropical places do.

Something pretty curious: Fresh data about last Summer
Five hottest days of January 2011(27 to 31) All data in degrees Celsius São Paulo---Rio de Janeiro
21,3º/32,4º--- 21º/39,7º
22,2º/33,1º--- 21,8º/41,4º
23,5º/33,3º--- 21º/37,2º
22,3º/33,8º--- 20º/37,1º
22,4º/30,7º--- 21º/35º
As you can see, the minimum in the night at Rio is much more low than Miami at summer. Even São Paulo, that is 800m higher than sea, set higher minimum.
But, at least once a year Rio plays this trick to São Paulo:
Feb, 27 2011
São Paulo--- Rio de Janeiro 20,5º/27,2º 14mm--- 28,1º/38,9º 0,0mm

It seems like Rio goes into fever.
Interesting. The last day in Rio sounds awful. Our hottest day last summer was July 6. It was 38.3°C/20.0°C. In NYC it was 39.4°C /27.2°C. I was at the beach that day and it felt great
On July 5 in Western Massachusetts, the morning low was 12.8°C and the high was 36.1°C. Big range!

Seems like you live in a desert(Yuma, calexico) not in Mass.
I don't like that much those days you had. We have to dress up ourselves in layers. We leave home in the morning with 14º/15ºC, cold(at least to me) and by 3 p.m. its 30º/32º, then we take off the overcoat and use t-shirt. I'd rather those days with not much variation of it. I wish I could spend 6 months at Berkshire Mountains, to swim on those beaultiful lakes in the summer, and play ice hockey upon them on winter.
Don't want either. But DC is brighter. I'd hate London's gloom.
Same.
I live in basically the same climate as D.C. and I greatly dislike Winter but I cannot take gloom at all, I don't care how warm it is.
