When to go on holiday to Porto Alegre

Porto Alegre is in fact a city in Brazil, not Sao Tome and Principe. I'm assuming you mean the island of Sao Tome in Sao Tome and Principe.
In terms of weather, the best time to visit Sao Tome is between June and September, during the dry season. Temperatures during this time average around 24-29°C (75-84°F) making it a great time to explore the island's beautiful beaches, rainforests, and hiking trails.
That being said, Sao Tome's climate remains fairly consistent year-round, with temperatures ranging from 22-30°C (72-86°F). The rainy season runs from October to May, with March and April being the wettest months.
So while the dry season may be the most comfortable time to visit, the island is still a beautiful and interesting place to visit year-round.
