I believe I'm lucky, but people usually don't know how Brazil really can be a bitch about the weather (mainly because what is know about the country is just a tiny bit of a really huge country). I live in the southest area, and here we have extremes. It's really wet, and during the summer (it's spring right now, but it really feels like summer) it's unbearably hot (fortunately, today it's fine, though).
But overall it's a good place to live. At least I can imagine living in any other place.
