I was looking on the map to find out some city who has nearly same climate as São Paulo does. I think there's no one better for that than Rockhampton QLD. They're at same lat. position, both are next sea, and under subtropical climate. But when I got throught data I put below, I saw their climate are sort of "extended" than mine. In the summer its warmer, and in winter, they're colder. Just on rainfall we leave them behind. Mine is twice as much. Rockhampton data were provided by Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Rockhampton highs (http://http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_nccObsCode=36&p_display_type=dataFile&p_start Year=&p_c=&p_stn_num=039083 - broken link):
Looking at ""record highs and lows"", can be deceptive.
Sure, Rockhampton has had temps below zero in winter, but those are rare events.
A close look at ""Rocky"" as the locals call it, shows a virtual perpetual summer - with only a brief cool season. There are 7 months straight of maximum temps over or just below 30C.
The average summer day of 22C minimum to 32C maximum, when you combine that with the tropical sun and humidity, aint that nice.
The average daily range for the whole year is 17-28C.
Sao Paulo's climate is almost temperate by comparison, the only flaw is the excessive rainfall.
Their winters seem pleasant but five months of oppressively hot, humid weather would be too much for me. At least with Sao Paulo's extra altitude you're spared the 40C+ weather that Rockhampton can get for half the year. Plus, as far as I know Sao Paulo doesn't get cyclones and floods as bad as Rockhampton does.
Neither would be my choice as I like at least some winter weather and four distinct seasons, but I'd rather have SP.
Temps are nicer.
I don't think the sun and heat would be too much
as the sun + heat here in Western Australia isn't much different (to me) on a 26 C day instead of a 36 C day.
I'm in Kalbarri now and it actually hit 37 C (98 F?) with a heat index of 38.3 C (100 F?) recently.
I was walking around town at time shopping, and that was at worst, a "minor inconvenience" while running errands.
I think I would hate living in a climate where heat indexes above 35 C were rare.
The cloudiness of Sao Paolo makes it lousier.
I think it's more fair to compare Sao Paulo to Sydney
and even then it might be a tough decision.
I choosed Rockhampton because it should be a lot easier to see temperatures below 10ºC there.
The lowest one ever recorded in São Paulo was -2,1ºC, but it was half century ago and surely it will never take place again.
Though the latitudes are different, I thought Sao Paulo would be more similar to the tablelands of North Queensland. Places like Atherton. No cities there though.
I would find Rockhampton brutally hot and unliveable.
Rockhampton looks very similar to Florida. Actually slightly milder than most of Florida. Not particularly pleasant not sure if I'd call it brutal.
