This is the day. At a glorious 27°C and dry, today is the peak of the week and a flawless beach day — enjoy it before the rain arrives.

Tomorrow is the big one. Brazil, top of their group, face Scotland in a decider — and Neymar is back in the squad after injury.

Markets are looking up. The Bovespa climbed back above 170,000 on Monday, with the dollar easing to around R$5.14.

The museums are back. After the Monday closures, the city’s galleries reopen today — a useful indoor option as the weather turns midweek.
