Vale do Paraíba and the region are forecast to have heavy rain and a drop in temperatures; see the forecast for the next few days

The forecast is influenced by a broad trough that acts over central-southern Brazil. At this moment, the system is causing heavier rainfall in the west of São Paulo, but there is still uncertainty about how it will influence the weather in other regions.

According to Escobar, until Thursday, the tendency is for quick and localized blows, which could be strong. This type of rain usually occurs mainly in the afternoon, when warming favors the formation of heavy clouds.

"The tendency is that in the next few days there will be small disturbances that will pass through our region and will cause rain in the form of showers. This forecast is valid at least until the end of the week. The decline in maximum temperature will occur between Thursday and Friday." Explains the meteorologist.

The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) issued a warning for storms in the Paraíba Valley and region. The warning is at orange level, which represents danger, and is valid for this Wednesday (14).

The forecast is for rain between 30 and 60 millimeters per hour or an accumulation of 50 to 100 millimeters per day, with winds of 60 to 100 km/h and the possibility of hail.

Inmet recommends that, during gusts of wind, people do not take shelter under trees, due to the risk of falling and electrical discharges. It is also recommended to avoid parking vehicles near transmission towers and advertising signs.

On Tuesday, the agency also recommends avoiding the use of electronic devices plugged into a socket. In case of emergency, the population can contact the Civil Defense by calling 199 and the Fire Department by calling 193.
