Brazil weather alert: Cold front and polar air bring storms and temperature drops

A significant weather shift is impacting Brazil, characterized by the passage of a cold front and the arrival of polar air masses. The Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (Inmet) has issued several alerts across the country.

In the South, Southeast, and Center-West regions, a polar air mass is expected to cause a sharp drop in temperatures. The South region may experience frost, and there is a possibility of snow or freezing rain in higher altitudes of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. In Santa Catarina, temperatures in the South Plateau could drop to between -5°C and -7°C.

Storm alerts are active for a broad area stretching from central-south São Paulo to the extreme north of Rio Grande do Sul, including Paraná and Santa Catarina. These storms may bring heavy rain, lightning, and wind gusts reaching up to 70 km/h in Paraná. The coastal areas of the South and Southeast are also warned of rough seas and potential storm surges.

In the Center-West, a yellow alert for low air humidity is in effect for Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, the Federal District, and southeast Mato Grosso. Meanwhile, the cold front is bringing intense rainfall to northern Minas Gerais and parts of the Southeast. In the North, a polar wave may bring 'friagem' (sudden temperature drops) and storms to states like Acre and Amazonas.
