Carnival Tuesday will be marked by heat and isolated showers in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, with temperatures ranging between 21°C and 31°C.
On Carnival Tuesday, February 17, the metropolitan region of São Paulo is expected to experience warm temperatures and isolated rain showers, continuing the pattern observed in previous days. The city’s emergency climate management center indicates that while mornings will be sunny with rising temperatures, the late afternoon and early evening may see storms developing due to instability in the atmosphere brought on by heat. This could lead to moderate to heavy rainfall, raising concerns for potential flooding and strong winds.
Temperatures on Tuesday are predicted to range between a low of 21°C in the early morning to a high of 31°C during the afternoon. The maximum temperature recorded the day before reached 34.1°C at the Mirante de Santana weather station in northern São Paulo. Such high temperatures paired with expected rainfall highlight the challenging weather conditions that can impact Carnival festivities, raising awareness of public safety in crowded celebrations.
Meteorology service Climatempo forecasts that overall weather conditions will stabilize in the state throughout the morning; however, they caution that the change from warm sunny conditions to potential rainstorms could catch revelers off-guard, stressing the importance of staying informed about weather updates during this festive period. Carnival, a time of significant cultural importance in Brazil, draws large crowds, and disruptions due to weather can influence events and celebrations.
