The autumn of 2026 officially started on March 20th at 11:45 AM and is expected to bring above-average temperatures to Divinópolis and the surrounding region, alongside rainfall that is predicted to be below normal. Meteorologist Ruibran dos Reis notes that although the remainder of March and early April will still reflect remnants of a rainy summer, a drier pattern will emerge beginning in May. This season's characteristics include clear days, lower afternoon humidity, significant temperature fluctuations, and notably cooler mornings that will warm slightly in the afternoons.

Starting next month, the weather is predicted to become clearer with fewer clouds due to a high-pressure system from the South Atlantic, which will prevent rainfall formation. As the meteorologist elaborated, this pattern will result in considerable thermal amplitude – meaning chilly mornings followed by more moderate afternoons. This scenario highlights a rapid warming during the mornings that will not persist throughout the day, as cooler air masses are anticipated to move in towards the end of the day.

Overall, this forecast is significant for local agriculture, outdoor activities, and public health considerations. Stakeholders, including farmers and health advisors, may need to prepare for the implications of these unusual weather patterns, especially with the anticipated dryness and temperature variations this autumn in Divinópolis and the surrounding areas.
