What to expect in João Pessoa in April

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

April brings fall to João Pessoa. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 30.8 °C (87 °F): the heat calls for early starts, sunscreen, and spending the middle of the day in the shade or in the water. Crowds sit somewhere in the middle, with peaks on public holidays. Outside those dates, you can enjoy the place at an easy pace and spend less. It rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days.
