What to expect in João Pessoa in October

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

October is spring in João Pessoa. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 30.1 °C (86 °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 also rains very little: this is one of the driest months of the year, good for anyone who wants an outdoor itinerary.
