Decided to make this post because i suppose most people outside of the country dont know that this region of Brazil has a monsoon climate, and never saw how it looks like during rainy season (since the google maps imagery is from another month)
Most of the annual rain falls during a few months, with very few rain along the rest of the year.
The majority of the region gets more rain than London, in fact, (which gets 550-650mm a year), with the difference that London gets about the same amount of rain in all the months and is colder, so the water doesnt evaporate fast enough for it to look dry

The Caatinga, every year losing their leaves on the winter and then returning to green once rainfall comes back in the summer

Similar to how it looks here in Melbourne, lush and wet by June, dead and brown by January
