Following days of continuous rainfall in São Paulo, the weather is expected to clear up just in time for Carnival festivities. Residents can look forward to sunny skies and temperatures soaring to 30ºC, with the heat returning for the holiday leading up to Ash Wednesday. However, typical summer weather means that afternoon showers may still occur, albeit briefly and not affecting all areas simultaneously.

Meteorologist Alexandre Nascimento highlights that despite the return of sun and warmth, the humidity will sustain the possibility of summer rain showers in the late afternoons. These showers might be brief but can be intense, adding an element of unpredictability to Carnival celebrations. The Central Management of Climate Emergency in São Paulo anticipates a mix of clouds at the start of the Thursday but expects the sun will dominate as the day progresses, with temperatures varying between 19°C and 29°C.

The forecast serves as a reminder for both locals and tourists celebrating Carnival to remain prepared for sudden rain, in addition to enjoying the sunshine, which is a hallmark of the festive season. This atmospheric pattern reflects typical summer conditions in the region, where hot days are frequently interrupted by quick showers, altering outdoor plans but not dampening the spirits of those celebrating the vibrant festival.
