Southern Brazil weather alert: Cyclone brings storms and heavy rain
An extratropical cyclone and a new cold front are expected to bring significant weather instability to Southern Brazil, including the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued various alerts, including orange alerts for Paraná, warning of intense rainfall, lightning, hail, and winds reaching up to 100 km/h.
In Paraná, the instability is expected to peak on Saturday, with rainfall accumulations potentially reaching 100 mm. Risks include localized flooding, landslides, and damage to crops and power lines. In Santa Catarina, the cyclone is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds, with a moderate risk of flooding and property damage.
In São Paulo, the weather is expected to be more stable with sunny intervals and dry air, though some areas may experience low humidity and morning fog. However, instability is predicted to move into the state by the weekend, bringing scattered showers and potential thunderstorms to the metropolitan region.
