Already suffering the effects of a cold front, the southern region of Brazil should experience a sharp drop in temperature next week, with the possibility of frost and snow.
According to Climatempo, a cold front organized itself with an extratropical cyclone in the south. As of this Wednesday (11), the cyclone begins to move towards the ocean, and should bring rain clouds to the Southeast and Midwest regions.
This Wednesday (11), clouds and rain showers may be registered throughout almost the entire southern region – mainly on the coast of Santa Catarina and Vale do Itajaí.
Climatempo meteorologists point out that, from Friday (13), a new cold front should take an intense mass of polar air to the South region. This should drop temperatures significantly, and can cause frost in the mountains of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
When meeting with the extratropical cyclone parked in the ocean, the conjunction of the cold polar air with the humidity can cause “snow or some other type of winter precipitation”, indicates Climatempo.
The places with the highest chances of registering snow are the highest points in the mountains of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
“The most intense cold is expected from the 17th of May, but mainly between the 18th and 19th”, points out Climatempo.
“Between the 17th and 22nd of May, the possibility of frost will return across Brazil. In addition to the South, there is even a chance to gear in the south of Minas Gerais, Serra da Mantiqueira, in some points of São Paulo and part of Mato Grosso do Sul. This time, in the South, not only the higher areas should register frost, but even in Curitiba the chance is quite high”, he adds.
