Rio de Janeiro Daily Brief for Sunday, June 21, 2026

A warm but changeable Sunday. At 23°C with a fair chance of a shower, the morning is the safer bet for the beach before any afternoon cloud rolls in.

Last call on a great show. The Yoshitaka Amano retrospective at the CCBB closes tomorrow, so today is your final relaxed chance to see it.

Brazil are sitting pretty. After Friday’s 3-0 win over Haiti, the side tops its group ahead of Wednesday’s decider against Scotland.

And the week ahead looks lovely. The clouds clear from tomorrow into a warm, dry run, so today’s unsettled spell is a brief one.
