Belo Horizonte

Belo Horizonte (Portuguese for "beautiful horizon") is the capital of the state of Minas Gerais, located in the southeastern region of Brazil. It is the third-largest metropolitan area in the country. Belo Horizonte (or "Beagá", as it is more familiarly known from the sound of its initials "BH" in Portuguese) has a population of almost 3 million, reaching over 5.5 million in the official Metropolitan Area

Belo Horizonte's climate can be classified as Tropical of altitude, with yearly average temperature between 9°C (48.2°F) and 35°C (95°F). As a city located in the southern Hemisphere, Belo Horizonte's spring starts in September, its summer in December, its autumn in March, and its winter in June. Belo Horizonte is located about 300 km (186 mi) distant from the sea.
Even though inter-seasonal differences are not as pronounced as they are in temperate places, and many people believe that, as in much of Brazil, there are just two seasons (a hot and humid one from October to March, and a colder and drier one from April to September), there is a contrast between spring and summer, and between fall and winter.

The weather this week has been beautiful; cool in the mornings, warm in the afternoon and sometimes chilly at night. I had to use the beautiful black and white blanket last night. It rains a little in the afternoon and there have been two torrential downpours during the night.
