Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo issued weather alerts for high winds
The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued severe weather alerts for the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo due to a continental cold front and an extratropical cyclone. An orange alert is in effect, warning of wind gusts between 60 km/h and 100 km/h, which pose risks of falling trees, roof damage, and destruction of crops and buildings.
In Rio de Janeiro, the municipality has entered Stage 2 of its emergency scale. As a precaution, the city government has ordered the closure of all municipal public parks. Utility provider Enel Rio has activated its contingency plan to address potential power outages across its service area.
In São Paulo, the State Civil Defense has warned of isolated storms, hail, and lightning. The dry conditions in the region may also lead to dust storms as wind speeds increase. Authorities in São Paulo have advised motorists on highways to reduce speed and maintain greater distances between vehicles due to the high winds.
