The week begins with high temperatures in Brazil

A hot, dry air mass will act over areas of south-central Brazil until at least Saturday (August 23). This system will keep temperatures high, especially in areas of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, São Paulo, Rondônia and Acre.

Temperatures will be rising in these areas and, in some locations, could be between 3°C and 7°C above the average for the period, especially in areas of Mato Grosso do Sul and west of São Paulo, where maximum temperatures are expected to be above 35°C, and occasionally exceeding 39°C.

The week begins with high temperatures in the southern region of the country, with maximum temperatures expected to reach 34°C in western Paraná. However, starting Tuesday (August 19), weather conditions are expected to change in the region, with rain showers that may be accompanied by lightning and gusts of wind in Rio Grande do Sul and the western states of Santa Catarina and Paraná, as well as western Mato Grosso do Sul.

Therefore, there will be a temporary drop in the maximum temperatures forecast for the Southern Region of the country and for the south of Mato Grosso do Sul on August 19th and 20th, followed by a new rise, with maximum temperature values around 35°C in most of the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul on Friday (22/08).

Pay attention to the temperature variation throughout the week in Rio Grande do Sul, especially from Friday (22/08) to Saturday (23/08), where maximum temperatures are expected to vary by up to 10°C.
