New ZCAS should bring more rain in the coming days

Between Thursday (26) and Friday (27), a new episode of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (ZCAS) is expected to form in the country. This system is responsible for promoting consecutive days of cloudy weather, considerable volumes of rain, sometimes persistent, which can cause impacts to the population.

The rains are expected to be concentrated in areas from the southwest of the Amazon, crossing the Central-West and Southeast regions of the country, to the Atlantic Ocean. Special attention should be paid to the Southeast, where there may be impacts on the population in the coming days. The ZCAS may be in effect until at least next Monday (30).

In Figure 1, the dark blue tones indicate increased humidity in the areas mentioned.
