Fog enveloped Belo Horizonte on Saturday morning, reducing visibility and bringing light rain to various areas.
On Saturday morning, Belo Horizonte was shrouded in fog, particularly in the Savassi neighborhood where iconic sights like Praça da Liberdade were barely visible. Light rain accompanied the fog in several regions of the city, highlighting the wet conditions that have characterized the week. The phenomenon was visible throughout the area, affecting daily activities and traffic.
Images captured at various locations, including the Anel Rodoviário near the Dom Bosco neighborhood, showcased the intense fog which strained visibility to the point where the roadways were barely discernible.

The community's experience with the fog is emblematic of broader climatic trends, underlining the importance of preparedness for varying weather conditions throughout the season.
