Bomb cyclone brings heavy rains to the South and Southeast this weekend

An intense cold front hits Rio Grande do Sul, this Friday (31), with heavy rains and potential for severe storms. There is still the formation of an extratropical cyclone, which could become a bomb cyclone, which intensifies until the beginning of Saturday (1st). The information is from Climatempo.

The cyclone and the cold front move towards the Southeast on Saturday and, until Sunday (2), reach São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, bringing heavy storms, especially in the afternoon, in addition to wind and rising sea levels. .

As a result, temperatures must drop due to the entry of a cold air mass that comes along with the frontal system.

Understand what a bomb cyclone is

The bomb cyclone is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by an intense extratropical cyclone with very strong winds, which can cause havoc and material damage.

It gets its name from the rapid drop in atmospheric pressure that occurs inside it, causing a “bomb effect”.
