With the winter farewell, temperatures, which are already above average for this time of year, should rise even more throughout the week
O It is saying goodbye to Brazil atypically, with a heat wave that promises to raise temperatures in various regions of the country. From this Thursday (18), a new wave of the sixth of 2025, should extend to the beginning of spring on September 22. Temperatures, which are already above average for this time of year, should rise even more, especially the Midwest region of the country, where thermometers can reach up to 40ºC. States such as Tocantins, southern Maranhão, Piauí, Goiás, East of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, west of Minas Gerais and part of São Paulo are on alert.
In addition, other areas, such as part of Minas Gerais, Bahia, Piauí and Mato Grosso, should also record high temperatures, about 3ºC above average. This intense heat scenario marks the late winter, which already has typical spring characteristics, such as the return of rainfall. However, the federal capital, Brasilia, which has not seen rain since May, may have isolated rains in the coming days, although heat continues to predominate.
In capitals, temperatures vary significantly. In thermometers should mark between 16ºC and 26ºC, while Curitiba will have a minimum of 14ºC and a maximum of 24ºC. Brasilia, in turn, can record a minimum of 20ºC and a maximum of 33ºC, with possibility of rain. In Teresina, the forecast is a minimum of 24ºC and a maximum of 36ºC, with no expectation of rain.
