As autumn is set to begin on the 20th of this month, the Epagri/Ciram, which monitors weather conditions in Santa Catarina, has forecasted that the months of March, April, and May 2026 will be characterized by above-average temperatures in the state. This early anticipation provides valuable insights into how climatic conditions may evolve in the coming months, reminding residents to prepare for unusual temperature patterns that could affect both daily life and local ecosystems.

The rain forecast indicates that precipitation levels will remain near or below average in the Western region of the state, while other regions can expect rainfall closer to normative averages. However, particular attention should be paid to the coastal regions, where intense rainfall episodes may occur, especially in March, potentially leading to localized flooding and other weather-related emergencies.

Furthermore, there is an increased indication of more frequent occurrences of extratropical cyclones near Southern Brazil during this period. The presence of these cyclones can escalate adverse weather conditions, leading to storms with lightning and heavy rainfall. This situation signals a need for vigilance among local residents as they prepare for the potential challenges of the 2026 autumn climate in Santa Catarina.
