Cold front brings low temperatures to the southeast and frost to the south

A strong polar air mass advances over Brazil, overthrowing temperatures and bringing a “pre-winter” climate to the South and Southeast. THE Intense, which should persist in the coming days, led the São Paulo State Civil Defense to issue a low temperature alert, while the southern region faces frost risk and has recorded heavy rainfall. The São Paulo Civil Defense warned of the sharp drop in temperatures throughout the state. In Serra da Mantiqueira, thermometers can only mark 2 ° C. In areas such as Vale do Ribeira, Campinas and Paraíba Valley, the expected minimum is 8 ° C. In the metropolitan region of São Paulo and in cities such as Bauru and Ribeirão Preto, the forecast is 9 ° C. The maximum temperatures do not go up too, with the state capital and should record maximum of only 17 ° C.

Na the cold is even stricter. Frost is forecast for Rio Grande do Sul, much of Santa Catarina and southern Paraná. The phenomenon should be repeated in the coming days. In addition, the region has already felt the effects of severe weather with heavy hail rain that hit the Santa Catarina mountain and the region of São Joaquim (RS). The roads were covered by a layer of ice, making traffic difficult and creating scenarios that resembled snow. In Porto Alegre (RS), the maximum should not exceed 16 ° C.

While the south-central country is preparing for the cold, dry weather predominates in most central Brazil, including the Midwest and the interior of the Northeast, where air humidity is very low. The rain is concentrated in punctual areas, such as the east strip of the Northeast, points of the North and, in a weak and isolated way, in Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. Intense heat continues in the North and Northeast regions, with maximums that exceed 30 ° C in capitals such as Palmas (TO) and Cuiabá (MT).
