Rains in Rio Grande do Sul
Due to the heavy rains that have been hitting Rio Grande do Sul since the beginning of the week, the 14 de Julho dam, in Serra Gaúcha, failed this Thursday afternoon (2), as reported by the state governor, Eduardo Leite (PSDB) .
The precipitation that hits the Rio Grande do Sul region and the heat wave that affects the Southeast of Brazil can be explained by the “duel” between a strong mass of cold air and a hot one, which will keep the weather unstable and with rain in different areas of Rio Grande do Sul for the next few days.
The cold front that is in Rio Grande do Sul will not have the intensity to break the blockage of the hot air mass, and will be in a semi-stationary condition, causing rain in the North of Rio Grande do Sul and in part of Santa Catarina until this Saturday (4).
