With the turn of the month, the South region should experience an increase in temperatures; look

Winter 2023 doesn't end until mid-September, but the temperatures should start to rise well before that in the south of the country.

At theRio Grande do Sul, one of the coldest Brazilian states, the weekend was quite cold, even with some cities registering negative minimums. São José dos Ausentes, for example, had an impressive -2.3ºC.

Meanwhile, the Argentina prepares to receive an extremely hot air mass for this time of year, especially in the north of the country.

This hot air mass will influence the weather in Rio Grande do Sul, bringing an increase in temperatures, less cold nights, fog at dawn and warmer afternoons.

Despite the removal of the cold air mass, the weather remains dry and open during the first half of the week, which favors more nocturnal cooling and the formation of haze

Consequently, the early mornings of the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the month will still be marked by low temperatures typical of winter.

São José dos Absentes can register marks around 0ºC this Monday and will be between 1ºC and 2ºC this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, may have temperatures between 6ºC and 8ºC in the extreme south of the city on Monday, while the most central neighborhoods may experience marks close to 10ºC.

temperatures rising

Warming throughout the week will be more noticeable in the western half of the state, although there rising temperatures also in other regions during the afternoons.

In cities close to Argentina, the forecast is for hot afternoons, with the possibility of reaching or approaching 30ºC, especially in the Northwest.

With regard to rainfall, the week remains predominantly dry. Most of the days will be sunny, with a chance of precipitation only in the south of the state on Friday, and that could advance to other regions on Saturday, although in low volumes.

The month of August begins with temperatures above expectations for this time of year, especially in southern Brazil.

This situation is influenced by a hot and dry air mass that dominates the mid-latitudes of South America, affecting weather conditions and making the week the hottest and driest in the region.

The population should prepare for an unusually hot period and pay attention to health care and hydration.

Meteorological authorities will continue to monitor the situation and issue alerts so that everyone can take precautions in the face of imminent climate changes.
