Abroholos

Abroholos is a strong wind between Cabo de São Tomé and Cabo Frio , on the coast of Brazil , that blows from May to August. It is characterized by the fact that it comes up quickly, is short-lived and quickly disappears again. In doing so, it drives warm, very moist air from the southeast onto the continent.
