Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in SA as well as at Sao Paulo, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in November.

The year in Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo's climate features a tropical wet and dry pattern, with the rainiest months being December through February. Travelers should be aware of the potential for heavy rainfall during these months.

Busiest
early Dec to late Dec — The festive season attracts many tourists, leading to higher prices.
early Jan to late Feb — Summer vacation and Carnival celebrations boost tourist numbers and prices.
Quieter, still good
early Mar to late May — Post-Carnival period sees fewer tourists, with more manageable prices.
early Sep to late Nov — The weather is pleasant, attracting some tourists, but prices are generally lower.
Worth timing for
Carnival, February, movable — Causes infrastructure pressure and price spikes.
Watch out for heavy rain; humidity
