The cold snap has finally let go. The last day of June brings a mild, mostly dry afternoon with a high near 26°C, a welcome change after last week’s grey chill.

The mornings still bite, mind you. It was a cold 15°C overnight, so the city went out in coats it will be carrying by lunchtime.

It is free-entry Tuesday at MASP. The great museum on Avenida Paulista opens its doors at no charge, a Paulistano tradition worth keeping on a mild winter day.

And Brazil are through. A dramatic 2-1 win over Japan sends the Seleção into the round of 16, reason enough to face a Tuesday with a smile.
