Vitoria has a tropical climate and, while it is generally hot, winter (June and August) can get colder than one might expect for the tropics, with temperatures occasionally dropping to about 54°F (12°C) during cold fronts. Equally, even in winter, temperatures can reach 86°F (30°C). Summer highs hover around 90°F (32°C) and winter lows typically average 66°F (19°C). Rainfall is heaviest between October and January, but showers are possible throughout the year. Vitoria is well-protected from the wind and can get quite smoggy as a result.
