Temperature forecast According to Civil Defense, the scenario recorded this Sunday confirms the dry weather condition predicted by agents for the weekend and is the result of an atmospheric blockade, which favors the occurrence of a summer spell in a large part of the State of São Paulo. The condition is expected to persist over the next few days, with a predominance of dry weather, above-average temperatures for this time of year and low levels of relative humidity. The mornings should continue to have milder temperatures, while the afternoons tend to be hotter and drier, increasing the temperature range throughout the day. During times of greatest heating, humidity levels may reach critical levels again in different regions of São Paulo.

"We are coming out of a week in which we had a severe drop in temperatures. This mass of polar air acted across the entire territory of São Paulo and dropped temperatures to the point where we broke records, with a minimum of 1.3°C", he recalled. Forecast for the regions For the Bauru and Presidente Prudente region, in the coming days, minimum temperatures should vary between 10°C and 21°C, while maximum temperatures could reach between 33°C and 35°C. In the São José do Rio Preto region, the minimum temperatures should be around 10°C, and the maximum temperatures may vary between 27°C and 35°C. In the Sorocaba region, the minimum temperatures should vary between 9°C and 17°C, while the maximum temperatures should be between 22°C and 31°C. In Itapetininga, the forecast is similar. "A typical characteristic of winter is precisely dry weather. The forecast also does not indicate significant amounts of rain in the coming days, which maintains this scenario." Guidelines In addition to the health impacts, especially for children, the elderly and people with respiratory illnesses, the combination of dry weather, low humidity and parched vegetation also increases the risk of forest fires. Civil Defense reinforces guidance so that the population does not carry out fires and does not discard cigarette butts or other materials that could cause fires in vegetation areas. During periods of low humidity, the recommendation is to maintain constant hydration, avoid physical activities outdoors during the hottest and driest times of the day, reduce prolonged exposure to the sun and, whenever possible, humidify the environments. The State Civil Defense continues to monitor weather conditions and may issue new alerts if conditions of risk to the population are identified.
