Why It Matters
The Vale do Paraíba and North Coast region faces climate instability due to the transition between a trough and a cold front.
In the message sent to the cell phones of residents of São José and Jacareí, the Civil Defense reported: "Heavy rain is advancing towards the São José dos Campos region. There is lightning, wind and conditions for hail. It affects neighboring municipalities. Seek shelter."
On the North Coast, Ubatuba entered the alert panel of the National Center for Natural Disaster Monitoring and Alerts (Cemaden) for the risk of flooding and landslides. Six rain gauges in the city recorded at least 30 millimeters of rain.
The cities of Vale do Paraíba and the region remain in the alert area of the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) for the risk of storms.
According to the forecast, this Friday is a transition day between the departure of a trough and the approach of a cold front. In this scenario, there is the possibility of new, more intense rain showers during the afternoon and night, especially on the coast.
From Saturday (17), the arrival of the cold front should cause temperatures to drop. The main concern, however, remains the volume of rain.
