What to expectNeiva through the year

Neiva changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 29 and 32 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Rain is strongly seasonal. April averages 195 mm against 25 mm in August — 7.8 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.
