Climate and best time to visit Belo Horizonte, Brazil

For optimal itinerary planning, we have compiled the most important information about the regional climate and ideal times to travel.
Belo Horizonte and Minas Gerais are located inland in the Southeast of Brazil and therefore do not have too much influence from the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is moderate but warm. The seasons of the year are different from those of Europe, as the city is located in the southern hemisphere. Summer is therefore from December to February and winter from June to August.

The average rainfall varies between 50 mm and 200 mm (2 in to 7.9 in) per month.
In general, the humidity is relatively high (57 to 76 percent). Summer is the time of year with the highest humidity, which is why the high temperatures during these months can feel sultry.

In general, Belo Horizonte is a very good year-round destination, as the warm temperatures do not vary too much throughout the year.
As Belo Horizonte is not a coastal city, it is not regarded as a popular beach destination for tourists, but mainly for city trips. The high temperatures and heavy rainfall in the summer should therefore be avoided if travelers do not want to expose themselves to the Brazilian heat. The best time for trips and excursions to Belo Horizonte would be between March and May (fall), and between September and November (spring). During this time, travelers can expect pleasantly warm temperatures and little rainfall. The winter months are also suitable for travel, but it can be quite cool from time to time.
