Rio has a tropical savanna climate and is often characterized by long periods of rain from December to March. The temperature occasionally reaches over 40 °C (104 °F) in inland areas of the city, and maximum temperatures above 28 °C (82 °F) occur on a monthly basis. In the main tourist areas (south side, where the beaches are located), the temperature is moderated by the cool sea-breezes from the Atlantic Ocean.  Along the coast, the breeze, blowing alternately onshore and offshore, modifies the temperature which also makes for almost perfect conditions for windsurfing.  The temperature varies according to elevation, distance from the coast, and type of vegetation. Winter brings mild temperatures and less rain than in the summer.
