Why It Matters
Sunday marks the first round of the 2026 Elections. Climate instability is caused by the approach of a cold front in the state of São Paulo.
In Santos, Sunday started with firm weather and rising temperatures. According to Climatempo, thermometers can reach 30°C in the afternoon. The forecast, however, indicates the first showers from the end of the afternoon. The change could coincide precisely with the last hours of voting in the first round of the 2026 Elections.
The hourly forecast from Climatempo points to 30°C at 3pm, still without rain. At 4 pm, when thousands of voters may still be on their way to the polling stations, the temperature begins to drop and there is already a possibility of precipitation.
At 5pm, the time scheduled for voting to close, the temperature should be around 26°C, with rain. Precipitation tends to gain strength during the night, accompanied by thunderstorms.
The change is associated with the approach of a new cold front across the state of São Paulo. According to Unesp's Meteorological Research Institute (IPMet), Sunday will be unstable weather in the state, with a forecast of rain showers that could be of heavy intensity and accompanied by thunderstorms and gusts of wind.
The State Civil Defense also warned of the possibility of isolated rain, lightning and gusts of wind this Sunday. The agency recommends paying special attention to areas subject to flooding and advises the population to avoid trees, metal structures and open places during lightning strikes.
For Santos, Climatempo predicts 12.9 millimeters of rain throughout this Sunday, with a precipitation probability of 84%. The predicted maximum is 30°C and the minimum is 20°C. Wind gusts can reach 57 km/h.
The tendency is for instability to increase after 6pm. Between 7pm and 9pm, there is a forecast of rain accompanied by thunderstorms in the city.
The change should not be limited to Sunday. According to IPMet, Monday (5) and Tuesday (6) will continue with unstable weather in the state due to the action of a low pressure area associated with the passage of the cold front. The forecast is for a lot of cloudiness, rain showers and milder temperatures.
