Rain is possible today but not certain — 47% chance of a brief drizzle, possibly for 4 hours. Carrying something compact is reasonable.

Rio's wet season (November–March) brings intense afternoon thunderstorms that can be catastrophic. The city's steep hills and narrow ravines concentrate runoff rapidly, making landslides and flash flooding a serious risk — January is historically the highest-risk month. Annual totals average 1,200mm. The dry season (May–September) is reliably clear and mild.
