Storms gain strength after a sunny Carnival; see where the risk is highest this Thursday
Brazil will experience increased rainfall and storm risk in many regions after a hot Carnival weekend.
After a Carnival characterized by strong sun and elevated temperatures, Brazil is set for a change in weather conditions this Thursday, marked by a typical summer day of high heat and scattered rain across various capitals. Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 28Β°C and 32Β°C, with overcast skies and the likelihood of rainfall in several areas. The combination of high temperatures, humidity, and sultry conditions is conducive to the formation of heavy rain clouds throughout the day.
As the week progresses, unstable weather is forecasted, particularly over the weekend, with increased chances of severe thunderstorms in regions such as EspΓrito Santo, Northern Minas Gerais, and parts of the Central-West. The overall conditions for rainfall are projected to improve across all states by week's end, leading to potential heavy downpours and storms in many areas, which may disrupt local activities and pose risks to safety.
This upcoming change in weather could have significant implications for local populations, especially following the recent Carnival celebrations. Authorities are likely to monitor the situation closely to ensure public safety as the increased risk of storms could lead to flooding and other related hazards. The Meteorological Department will provide updates as conditions evolve over the days following the sunny carnival festivities, urging residents to stay informed about weather developments.
