Wednesday June 10 is the last clear day before the rain arrives — 23°C and 10%, the full Paulista corridor open, the World Cup a day away. After this, it gets wet: 60% Thursday, 50% Friday. Enjoy it while it lasts.

The Pinacoteca is open today (10 am–6 pm, R$15) — and so is the full Paulista corridor: MASP, IMS Paulista, Japan House SP, Itaú Cultural and Casa das Rosas all running. The Pinacoteca and MASP side by side on a clear Wednesday is one of the best cultural days São Paulo offers.

The Ibovespa recovered yesterday — +0.68% to 169,813 points — as Trump’s suggestion of an Iran deal pulled oil back and gave banking stocks room to move. The dollar eased slightly to R$5.18.

World Cup opens tomorrow Thursday June 11 — Mexico vs South Africa, Azteca, 4 pm BRT — with 60% rain in SP. Book your bar. Brazil vs Morocco Saturday June 13, MetLife NJ, 7 pm BRT, with 25% rain and clearing skies.
