Sunrise & Sunset in Rio de Janeiro During April

Sunrise arrives later each morning and sunset comes earlier each evening, with the total change adding up to roughly two hours less daylight than in February. The sun's lower arc creates longer, warmer-toned shadows and extends golden hour. Morning frost or cool dawns become more common as the reduced sun angle delivers less direct warmth.
