The city of Rio de Janeiro is experiencing a sunny morning, but forecasts predict isolated rain showers in the afternoon and evening that could be intense in some areas.
On Wednesday, November 25, the weather in Rio de Janeiro started off with some fog but quickly transitioned to a sunny morning. However, the ongoing heat and high humidity levels have led to predictions of isolated rain showers expected later in the day, particularly in the afternoon and evening. The maximum temperature is forecasted to reach 33°C, creating conditions conducive for thunderstorms.
The National Meteorology Institute (Inmet) has issued alerts for the entire state due to the potential for substantial rainfall, specifically warning of accumulations that could exceed 100 mm in certain areas. The rain in urban areas is expected to be sporadic yet potentially heavy and accompanied by lightning, which raises concerns for public safety and infrastructure.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, there is an increased risk of severe storms on Thursday and Friday, while the weekend is expected to bring a decrease in rainfall and temperatures. This unpredictable weather pattern highlights the importance of preparedness in the region, especially in areas near the border with Minas Gerais, which are particularly susceptible to heavy rain and thunderstorms.
