I live in São Paulo, Brazil.
São Paulo is the a city in Brazil located in southeast. The weather is crazier of our country. It never snow during the year, but the weather changes a lot, mainly in the summer on the jan and feb months. In a crazy weather day we can have a sunny morning, after a very stuffy afternoon, then strong wind following with a heavy rain with flood. And the next day with a cold day with 17 Celcius that to us is cold.
The best weather of the year is the summer/spring between Oct and Apr months. The temperature varies between 20 - 34 Celcius Most people like these season.
On the winter the temperature varies between 6 - 17 Celcius. It's drizzle a lot.
Many people in the south and southeast of Brazil travel to northeast during the winter, over there is summer all year doesn't mattering the time of year.
