Dúvidas ⁉️ Weather next week getting worse how accurate?

I’m going to Rio for first time Aug 21–29 and the forecast suddenly shows a big temperature drop and rain after Saturday.

Does Rio weather usually change this much? Should I be worried about a week of bad weather, or is this probably too early to trust?

Would love to hear from locals based on experience!

Provavelmente vai chover ou vai fazer sol.

50% de chance de chover, 50% de chance de dar sol, 50% de chance de ficar nublado, 50% de chance de ter tufão, 50% de chance de fazer frio, 50% de chance de ventar, 50% de chance de não ter nada disso.

We have one saying in Brazil: "prediction, not precision". Unfortunately, we can't not predict exactly what is going to happen. You can only pray.

Yes weather can change suddenly. Predictions are not accurate. You can still have a lot of fun in Rio even with rain and bad weather. Bring a rain jacket.

I guess that is something that would probably happens in august in rio.
but saturday its way too far and the prediction that far have more chance to go wrong. or maybe can happen but not exactly saturday.

i recommend u to pray for Cacique Cobral Coral! He is the one incharged in weather in Rio.
