On Friday (17), volumes should already decrease and, at the weekend, the weather will become drier again. Dry weather is a reflection of El Niño Orla de Maceió panoramic Kaio Fragoso The meteorologist explained that the dry and hot weather recorded in recent days is related to the effects of El Niño. Warming waters in the Pacific Ocean alter wind circulation and favor drier periods in the Northeast. Despite this, she emphasizes that the phenomenon does not prevent the occurrence of precipitation in Alagoas. "Even though El Niño happens, this does not mean that we will go through this entire period without rain. It can occur due to the cold front, easterly waves and other weather systems", he stated. Bárbara also highlighted that Alagoas remains in the rainy season, which normally lasts until the first half of August. The period of more than ten days without rain recorded recently is known as "summer". See the temperature forecast According to Semarh, temperatures are expected to remain high for this time of year.
