The Vale do Paraíba region and surrounding areas in Brazil are bracing for continued rainfall as they begin the week, following a particularly rainy weekend. The National Institute for Space Research (INPE) has indicated that a moisture channel, combined with air currents known as 'cavados' responsible for creating storm clouds, will contribute to more precipitation throughout the week. Heavy rain was recorded in several cities over the weekend, and this pattern is projected to persist until approximately Thursday, when the chances of rain are expected to lessen.

Meteorological reports suggest that temperatures in the affected areas will remain relatively low, not exceeding 30°C for most locations, including São José dos Campos, until the end of this rainy spell. In response to the ongoing weather conditions, São Paulo's Civil Defense has established a crisis cabinet to manage potential emergencies caused by the severe weather. Their efforts underscore the seriousness of the situation, as authorities remain on high alert for possible flooding and related incidents as the weather evolves.

As the week progresses, the expectation is that the atmospheric conditions leading to heavy rainfall will gradually diminish, allowing for some clearing by Thursday. However, with forecasts indicating ongoing significant rain during the earlier part of the week, residents are urged to remain vigilant and prepared for necessity to respond to any emergency situations that may arise from the adverse weather. The situation highlights the importance of coordination among authorities to safeguard public safety during hazardous weather events.
