Current Weather at
Sao Paulo's Guarulhos International
Airport
All-time record
temperatures for Sao Paulo are 37.3 °C (99.1
°F) on February 15, 1985 and −2.1 °C (28 °F)
on August 2, 1955 (both at the Mirante de
Santana National Weather Station, in the
north region). In the mountains around the
city (Horto Florestal), −3.9 °C (25 °F) was
recorded also in August 2, 1955
(unofficially). The Tropic of Capricorn, at
about 23°27' S, passes through São Paulo and
roughly marks the boundary between the
tropical and temperate areas of South
America. Because of its elevation, however,
São Paulo enjoys a distinctly temperate
climate.
Rainfall is abundant,
amounting to an annual average of 1,317
millimetres (51.9 in). It is especially
common in the warmer months, and somewhat
scant between June and August. Neither São
Paulo nor the nearby coast has ever been hit
by a tropical cyclone, and tornado activity
is uncommon. Snow flurries were reported
officially only once, on June 25, 1918.
During late winter,
especially August, the city experiences the
phenomenon known as "veranico" (Little
summer), which consists of a bout of
unusually hot and dry weather, sometimes
reaching temperatures well above 28 °C (82
°F). On the other hand, relatively cool days
during summer are fairly common when
persistent winds blow from the ocean. On
such occasions daily high temperatures may
not surpass 20 °C (68 °F), accompanied by
lows often below 15 °C (59 °F).
