After the storm, heat continues, and MS may reach up to 40°C

Following a storm in Mato Grosso do Sul, high temperatures are expected to persist across the state despite some forecasts of rain.

In the aftermath of the storm that struck Mato Grosso do Sul on Wednesday, the state is experiencing continued high temperatures on Thursday, with forecasts suggesting it could reach up to 40°C in some areas. While northern cities like Figueirão are expected to receive significant rainfall, they will still see high temperatures around 31°C. Other municipalities in the north are also anticipated to experience warm conditions despite the expected precipitation.

The central region of Mato Grosso do Sul is bracing for scattered rain showers, with cities like Terenos and Sidrolândia facing a similar situation where high humidity will contribute to an uncomfortable ambiance, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 33°C. Residents are advised to prepare for both humidity and heat as they navigate their daily activities amid these weather conditions.

The western and southwestern parts of the state are particularly noted for experiencing extreme heat. The combination of prior rainfall and current warm weather leads local meteorologists to warn of a potentially oppressive heatwave. Such conditions not only affect daily life but could also pose health risks, making it crucial for citizens to stay hydrated and take precautions against the heat.
