Tuesday June 9 opens at 28°C and 10% rain in Rio — the hottest day of the year so far, a full seven degrees above last Tuesday’s 21°C and the kind of June day that belongs at the beach. The city is at its most open: the Zona Sul, the bay, the mountains, all clear.
Full Centro circuit today — MAR, MAM Rio and Museu do Amanhã all reopen after Monday’s closure. CCBB closes Tuesdays only, so today is the first day of the week that MAR, MAM Rio and Museu do Amanhã run simultaneously.
Pedra do Sal roda tonight from 8 pm at Largo João da Baiana, Saúde — one of the three weekly nights (Tue/Fri/Sun). At 28°C and 10% rain the historic quilombo square will be at its warmest and most energetic of the week.
The Ibovespa closed Monday at 168,668.72 points (-0.21%); the dollar settled at R$5.18. World Cup opens Thursday June 11 — Mexico vs South Africa, Azteca, 4 pm BRT. Brazil face Morocco on Saturday June 13 at MetLife Stadium, NJ, 7 pm BRT.
