I'm off to Sao Paulo this week and the weather looks bad, the city really breaks down when it rains a lot. I'm still going.

But, if I were in your shoes going to Rio and was planning to enjoy the outdoors and had the option to postpone my Trip I would. Keep in mind in May there will be less tourist, and not as hot.

Brazil is having a lot of rain this year.

Wednesday looks to be a write-off which is fine, Thursday and Friday show promise. I'm not sure how accurate the forecast for next weekend will be though. I'd be disappointed if there were 3 or more days where the beach was a no-go on account of the rain.

What would you do in my shoes... go next week to Rio and hope there's enough sun for the beach, or wait and go in mid-May?

Thanks!
