Weekend in SP is expected to remain hot with a chance of summer rain in the afternoon
The weather forecast for São Paulo indicates a warm weekend with isolated rain showers, particularly on Saturday.
Meteorological institutes predict that the metropolitan area of São Paulo will get a break from the typical summer storms which often lead to severe flooding and tree falls. Despite this, the heat is expected to continue through the weekend with a possibility of medium intensity rain showers, especially on Saturday. The temperature will remain high, with a low of 19°C in the early morning and possibly reaching up to 31°C during the hottest part of the day on Friday.
According to the Climate Emergency Management Center (CGE) of the São Paulo City Hall, Friday will remain warm, and an isolated short-duration rain is expected in the late afternoon without significant rain forecasted for the night. On Saturday, the day will begin with overcast skies and a minimum temperature of 19°C, transitioning to a partly sunny morning, yet not rising significantly, peaking at around 27°C. Rain showers are anticipated again in various parts of the city later in the day, indicating typical summer weather patterns.
The implications of this weather pattern are notable, as it offers some relief from the heavy rains that can cause severe urban flooding in São Paulo. The forecasted isolated showers may still pose risks for localized flooding, particularly in areas that are vulnerable during the rainy season. Residents are advised to remain cautious, especially in the event of sudden heavy rain, while still making the most of the warm weather expected over the weekend.
