Tropic of Capricorn

Salvador's current weather conditions (updated every several hours or so; measured at the airport) are brought to you here courtesy of weatherunderground.com. As the banner suggests, clicking will bring up a (nine day) forecast (and plenty of advertising!).

Salvador da Bahia is, of course, a tropical city, with a southerly latitude of 12 degrees 58 minutes (the Central American country of Guatemala is positioned at a corresponding northerly latitude). So while the weather tends towards glorious, there are seasonal variations, and the tropical sun is a force to be reckoned and dealt carefully with (this and some common misperceptions are dealt with in Frequently Asked Questions).

Bahian nights are the stuff that dreams are made of, like nights in the Garden of Eden. This isn't true one hundred percent of the time of course (they can be rainy, or occasionally too humid), but the vast majority are soul-nurturing meteorlogical perfection.
