Best time to visit Belo Horizonte

July is the best month in Belo Horizonte, scoring 98 out of 100, with October the weakest at 60. The 38-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs May to August — 4 months within ten points of the best.

October is the warmest month at 30.4 °C and June the coolest at 25.5 °C — a 4.9 °C spread across the year. Around 64 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in October and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. January, March, November and December carry the rain — up to 24 wet days in a month — while May to September drop as low as 1. That 23-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Belo Horizonte, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 10.9 hours in winter to 13.3 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are July, June, May. The one to think twice about is October. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
