The weather forecast for Brasília reveals a return of rain after a dry spell during the Carnaval. The Brazilian National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) predicts that throughout the weekend, the Federal District (DF) will experience overcast skies and significant rainfall, with temperatures ranging from 17°C to 26°C and humidity levels between 55% and 100%. This marks a notable change for residents who had enjoyed drier weather during the festive season.

On Friday, the Inmet has issued an orange alert due to the possibility of heavy rains that could reach up to 100 mm in a single day, accompanied by strong winds that may hit speeds of 100 km/h. Such conditions raise concerns about potential hazards including power outages, fallen tree branches, and flood risks. The agency has advised residents to exercise caution, highlighting important safety tips to avoid injury during these severe weather conditions.

In particular, people are advised not to seek shelter under trees due to the risk of falling limbs and lightning strikes. Additionally, it’s recommended that vehicles be parked away from transmission towers and advertising signs, and to refrain from using electronic devices during stormy weather. This warning serves as a crucial reminder for the community to prepare for and stay safe during the inclement weather this weekend.
