Traveller notes on Morro de São Paulo in January
Notes from nearby Salvador (64 km away)
Morro de São Paulo doesn't have its own notes for January yet — these are about Salvador, close enough to share the season.
Salvador's forum calls January part of the region's driest stretch, good beach weather with a typical rhythm of overcast mornings until around 10am, then hot, sunny afternoons for the beach. Regulars are candid that a rain shower can still turn up — sometimes brief, sometimes enough to duck under a beach umbrella for a few minutes — before the sun returns.
