Mostly sunny and warm with low rain chance, perfect for beach and street life.
Headline picks: samba feijoada at Rio Scenarium, Candlelight Lord of the Rings at Solar de Botafogo and live music across Centro.
Ibovespa closed near flat, dollar firmed to R$5.11–5.13 and rate-cut bets are shifting.
Best use of the day: beach till late afternoon then music, samba or a themed night out with easy metro and VLT connections.
