The cities of Registro and Iguape in Brazil's Vale do Ribeira recorded the highest temperatures in São Paulo state, with Registro reaching 38.1 °C, while Iguape hit 37.6 °C, making them among the hottest locations in the country.
In the latest weather reports, Registro and Iguape, two cities located in the Vale do Ribeira region of São Paulo, have emerged as the hottest spots in the state. On Friday, temperatures soared to 38.1 °C in Registro and 37.6 °C in Iguape, ranking them among the four hottest cities in Brazil according to the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet). The record-setting temperatures highlight the ongoing heat wave affecting the region.
As temperatures rise, the State Civil Defense has issued warnings indicating potential changes in weather conditions, including expected thunderstorms and winds reaching up to 60 km/h starting Saturday. The unusually high temperatures not only affect daily life but raise concerns about the health impacts on residents and the strain on local infrastructure.
In the broader context, while the Vale do Ribeira saw these extreme temperatures, larger cities such as São Paulo itself ranked much lower in the temperature list, with the capital only reaching 34.5 °C, placing it 40th in temperature rankings across Brazilian cities. This variance draws attention to regional climate impacts and the unique challenges faced by smaller communities as they cope with extreme weather events.
