Field notes
Tropical (Bahia coast) — temperatures stay remarkably stable across the year (25–28°C) with humidity consistently above 80%. Wet season (April–June) brings near-daily afternoon downpours. Dry austral-winter (August–November) is the postcard window with bright sun, lower humidity, and calmer seas. Sea-water temperatures stay swimmable year-round (26–28°C).
