Friday opens at 23°C in Rio de Janeiro with 35% rain and a calendar dense with one-day events. The IRPF first refund batch — a record R$16 billion to 8.75 million taxpayers — pays today. The Libertadores last-16 draw is at 12h in Luque, Paraguay: three Rio clubs are in the bracket — Flamengo as group winners, Fluminense as runners-up, and Palmeiras (4–1 over Junior Barranquilla last night) also through. The IRPF filing deadline is tomorrow, Saturday May 30 — the last day to submit via gov.br. The weekend clears sharply: Saturday 24°C and 10% rain, Sunday 24°C and 15% rain, with Brazil x Panama at the Maracanã on Sunday at 18h30 — the national team’s last home match before the World Cup, tickets sold out. The full museum map is open today: CCBB Rio free, MAR free on Saturdays from tomorrow, MAM Rio, the Jardim Botânico.
