Rain in SP and intense sun in the Northeast; see the forecast for Tuesday (18)

Hot and humid air predominates over the South, Midwest and North of Brazil and also over São Paulo this Tuesday (18).

The circulation of winds over the country, at different levels of the atmosphere, stimulates the formation of many areas of instability over these regions. On Tuesday, heavier clouds form over the southern region.

The hot, dry air that predominates over part of the interior of the Northeast, in Tocantins, Goiás and the Federal District, makes it difficult to form large clouds. See the full weather forecast for this Tuesday.
