Why It Matters
The state of São Paulo faces unstable weather conditions with heavy rains and falling temperatures expected.
The areas of greatest attention are Vale do Ribeira, the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Baixada Santista and the North Coast. Accumulations can vary from 70 to 100 millimeters, mainly on the coast and in Greater São Paulo.
In the capital, the rain is expected to gain strength throughout the day, and may be accompanied by wind gusts exceeding 40 km/h, which increases the risk of flooding and falling trees. The temperature should be between 15°C and 22°C.
The weather is expected to remain unstable on Sunday (6), with an even greater drop in temperatures. The forecast is for a maximum of around 16°C in Greater São Paulo.
Civil Defense recommends avoiding areas subject to flooding and not crossing streets with accumulated water. In hillside regions, residents should pay attention to signs of soil movement, such as cracks in walls and tilting of trees and poles.
Inmet (National Institute of Meteorology) also extended the yellow storm alert for the entire state of São Paulo.
