What the data actually tells you

Rainfall swing

December gets roughly 617% more precipitation than June — 129mm against 18mm. That difference, more than temperature, is what changes how a day here feels.

Temperature spread

Daytime highs only move 8°C across the whole year (24–32°C), so timing matters far less here than rainfall does.

Usable daylight

December gives you 13.4 hours of daylight against just 10.6 in June — a 3-hour difference in how much you can actually fit into a day.

Driest window

June is the driest month at 18mm across roughly 3 wet days, while February peaks at 138mm.

Shoulder alternative

July is almost as good as June, but usually quieter and cheaper. If your dates are flexible, it is the easier trip.

Season strength

Paraty stays fairly consistent all year, so there is no month you need to avoid. What you plan to do matters more than when you go.

Risks worth planning around in Paraty

How the month ratings are worked out

Each month in Paraty is described from long-run climate normals and then rated relative to the other eleven months in the same city. A five-star January in a cold destination means January is one of the best times to be there — not that it beats a Mediterranean summer.

FactorWeightWhat it measures
Temperature Described Average daytime high and overnight low for the month, shown as measured rather than judged.
Precipitation Described Monthly millimetres and wet-day count, labelled as snow or rain/snow where temperatures make that the likely phase.
Sunshine & daylight Described Average daily sunshine hours and astronomical daylight length at mid-month, from the city’s latitude.
“Best for” tags Derived Applied only when the conditions genuinely support the activity — snow depth-friendly cold for skiing, 13–24°C and low rain risk for hiking, dark evenings at high latitude for aurora. A month with few strong use cases gets fewer tags rather than padded ones.
Star rating Relative Ranks the month against the other eleven months in the same city. Never a comparison between cities.

Figures are long-run climate averages, not a forecast for a specific year. This city has no published month-by-month normals on file, so monthly temperatures are interpolated from its summer and winter averages and rainfall is modelled from rain-day frequency.
