I have never been to Brazil but I imagine what's worse about the weather is the humidity more than the temperature?
By my personal preference, I would take direct, searing Sun heat over getting steamed in water vapour any day. My only experiential proof of this is being in Ottawa during the dog days of summer and being in the Mediterranean in summer.
Ottawa is a wacky unpredictable place but our worst heat is around 40C with humidity factor, and it is death.
When I was travelling Europe, I found in places like Spain and Italy, the Sun was extremely hot and piercing. Way more direct than anything I've felt in Canada. But it was much less humid, and therefore ten times more bearable.
