During the Carnival holiday period, Juiz de Fora and its surrounding areas are anticipated to enjoy stable weather conditions with high temperatures likely to exceed 30°C. The National Institute of Meteorology reports that the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ), which had previously caused significant rainfall in the Zona da Mata and Campo das Vertentes, has weakened in the region, leading to predominantly sunny days ahead.

Friday through Sunday is expected to feature clear skies, while the possibility of rain is minimal and limited to isolated areas. The forecasts show that from Monday onward, there will be an increase in potential rainfall, particularly in the afternoons, yet the volume of rain is expected to remain low. This pattern is set to continue until Ash Wednesday on the 18th, marking a shift in weather as Carnival festivities unfold.

City-specific weather data during this week indicate a range of temperatures. Juiz de Fora will see a minimum temperature of 18°C and a maximum reaching up to 31°C, whereas Barbacena and Muriaé will have similar patterns, with slight variations. Overall, the weather conditions appear favorable for Carnival celebrations, with locals and visitors alike expecting mainly dry and sunny weather with some afternoon showers as the week progresses.
