Cultural events -- film and music festivals and fashion and art exhibits -- happen mostly between April and December. During the South American summer (January-March) the weather is rainy, and floods can disrupt traffic. In summer, make reservations for beach resorts as far in advance as possible, particularly for weekend stays. In winter (June-July), follow the same rule for visits to Campos do Jordão. In the summer months temperatures can easily go up to 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). In winter they rarely get lower than 10°C (50°F).
