It's important to do a little research when traveling, in order to know what to expect as far as temperatures and to know what to pack. When you travel internationally as a typical Westerner, you may also need to refresh your Celsius to Fahrenheit equations. So I found the easiest was to try and remember that 20 degrees Celsius in equal to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. From there, each degree C is an additional 1.8 degrees F. So 24 degrees C equals 75.2 and 27 degrees C equals 80.6.
Here's an online converter in case the math is too tough :) http://www.metric-conversions.org/temperature/celsius-to-fahrenheit.htm
Since Brazil is South of the equator when I travel there this summer, it will be during their winter. Typical temperatures are around 20 degrees C with occasional dips below 15 degrees C.

Argentina is much cooler. June and July are the coldest months with a average low temperature dipping to 7 degrees Celsius (45 F). Yikes! http://www.weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainfall-Temperature-Sunshine,Buenos-Aires,Argentina Good thing I checked this out otherwise I would have totally been unprepared with just beachwear for those cool evenings!
So as always...do your homework before you go!
