São José dos Campos trains well all year because summer stays warm instead of brutal. Summer averages 24°C in the hottest month, so locals can still stack base miles, intervals, and longer rides without making every session a survival test. Winter changes the rhythm more than the ambition. Winter averages near 17°C in the coldest month, and fogs show up often, so runners and cyclists start smoother, keep the first reps honest, and let Z2 do its job. The brief does not name best months, but the mild winter and warm summer make the city feel steady for both sports.
