The mild nature of the São Paulo climate means that packing travelers need not agonize over temperature extremes or unfortunate natural disasters. Almost every day is a beach day! More specifically, São Paulo has a humid subtropical climate.
Geologically, the Tropic of Capricorn passes over top the city, causing the average annual temperatures along the coastline to be about 68 °F. Summer months in São Paulo run between September and March, and winter falls between April and August. The average temperature in winter is around 61°F. Winter nights are known to dip as low as 54°F in July but it is quite rare to ever have weather colder than this. In fact, 1918 was the last time there was recorded snow in São Paulo!
Rainfall is especially common in the warmer months, and somewhat scant between June and August. Rain seems to come in concentrated bursts over a few days, instead of being spread out across a few months, and more often than not the city streets will flood due to overflow – the city receives about 53 inches of rainfall per year. The best bet on a rainy day is to stay inside, avoid the inevitable traffic congestion, and let the São Paulo climate work itself out!
São Paulo enjoys a distinctly temperate climate because of it’s elevation. It is quite rare for a summer day to hit above 86°F, which has actually done wonders for the São Paulo economy. The frequency of days where the temperature is mild, makes the city a pleasant place to visit for tourists year round! Our Rotarty District 7570 GSE team will be visiting São Paulo when the average high is 73 °F and the average low is 59 °F. The precipitation average is around 1.6 inches. Perfeito!
