Best Times to Visit São Paulo
The best time to visit São Paulo is from March to May or October to November (the fall and spring shoulder seasons) when the temperatures are comfortable, the city sees less precipitation (and less haze) and premier events are in full swing. Because it's located in the Southern Hemisphere, the city sees opposite seasons from those in the Northern Hemisphere (like the United States). Summer in São Paulo (December to February) is hot and wet, with highs hovering around the 80s, while winter (from June to September) sees comfortable temperatures and little precipitation, making it the high season. Overall, the weather year-round in São Paulo is pleasant, with temperatures rarely dipping below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The summer months in São Paulo are characterized by hot and humid temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the low 80s. This time of year also sees the highest amount of rain, sometimes during flash thunderstorms that can even cause flooding on the roadways. Many locals often escape to nearby beach towns to cool off. Because it's the low season, you may be able to snag hotel deals; however, Carnival is a big celebration in Sampa so if you're planning to visit that weekend, book your accommodations a few months in advance.
