Forecast points to sun and heat in much of Brazil this Thursday (13)

The weather forecast for this Thursday (13) indicates that a large area of ​​Brazilian territory will face strong sun and high temperatures. According to information, hot and dry weather is expected to predominate in several regions, including the South, Southeast, Central-West, interior of the Northeast and part of the North.

High temperatures and low humidity

Cities like Cuiabá, in Mato Grosso, may register maximum temperatures close to 36°C, while capitals such as Porto Alegre, Salvador and Natal should reach 29°C. In addition to the intense heat, relative humidity will also remain low in much of the country, with levels below 60% — considered ideal for health and the environment.

Some capitals will face a critical dry situation, such as Cuiabá (23% humidity), Campo Grande (24%) and Palmas (32%). These dry and hot weather conditions are typical of the “veranico” period, a season characterized by long periods of drought.

Rains concentrated in the North and Northeast

Despite the predominantly dry scenario, the rains should be concentrated in areas in the North and Northeast of the country. The heaviest rainfall is forecast for Boa Vista, with an accumulated rainfall of 25 millimeters. Capitals such as Maceió, Recife and Aracaju may also record lighter rain, between 10 and 15 millimeters.

These rainy events, although localized, are common at this time of year, due to the high humidity from the sea that reaches the continent. However, these conditions contrast with the drought situation that prevails in a large part of the national territory.
