heat continues
According to the meteorological service of the city of Rio de Janeiro, a high pressure system is positioned in the atmosphere in order to provide these high temperatures in the city, which also favors rain showers at the end of the day.
This is the prefecture’s forecast for this Sunday night: rapid and isolated rain showers, which may be accompanied by lightning.
In the coming days, the municipality should continue with the intense heat. The forecast is that the maximum will continue to reach 40°C on Monday (16) and Tuesday (17).
