Best Time to Book a Flight to Sao Paulo Guarulhos Airport

While Sao Paulo is in a tropical climate, its inland location makes temperatures here during the winter (which is roughly June to August) surprisingly cool, so bring a sweater. March to June, which is autumn, also tends to be damp and cool. Spring (September to November) offers sunny days and comfortable temperatures. While the summer months (November to March) are sunny and perfect for a visit to the beach, they are extremely hot and humid, which is made worse by Sao Paulo's infamously bad traffic.
