Brazil is experiencing a climate phenomenon known as Veranico, which brings higher than expected for this time of year. This out-of-season heat is mainly affecting the south-central regions of the country, with temperatures that can reach up to 5ºC above average. In São Paulo, for example, the maximum temperature, which would usually be 20ºC, can reach 25ºC in the coming days. This summer should extend until May 20, impacting states such as ,,
The summer is not only characterized by high temperatures, but also by firm time and the absence of rain. This is due to an atmospheric block that prevents the formation of rain clouds in the Southeast and Southern regions of Brazil. According to the weather risk map, rain is restricted to areas in southern Bahia, while the rest of the center-south region remains dry time. This condition can lead to relative humidity to levels below the ideal for human health, especially in Rio Grande do Sul and the Midwest.
Predictions for today’s maximum temperatures include 25ºC in São Paulo, 27ºC in Porto Alegre, 28ºC in Campo Grande and 31ºC in Rio Branco. Although Sao Paulo registered the lowest minimum temperature of the year, 14.3ºC, the afternoon promises to be warmer, pleasing both those who prefer the morning cold and those who enjoy the heat of the sun in the afternoon. The mild and sunny climate has been well received by the population, who can enjoy the day without the need for heavy warm.
This climate phenomenon, although welcome by many, also brings concerns. Lack of rainfall and low air humidity can affect people’s health, as well as impact agriculture and water supply. Meteorological authorities recommend that the population remain hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest hours of the day.
