DATAGRO predicts the arrival of a bomb cyclone that will affect Rio Grande do Sul in the coming days.

The beginning of May maintained the pattern of irregular rainfall in Brazil, as observed in the first days of the week, according to… DATAGRO in VIP report. 

As described in the document, rainfall was concentrated in the southern region of the country, with the highest accumulations recorded in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, where rainfall ranged between 20 and 70 mm. In Paraná, the volumes were lower, registering between 2 and 10 mm.

In the remaining agricultural areas, the situation remained stable, with predominantly dry weather and a notable rise in temperatures over the last few days. 

"In the Midwest, temperatures exceeded 35°C, while in the Southeast, highs ranged between 30°C and 33°C. This scenario has been favorable to the progress of the sugarcane harvest in the Center-South and the coffee harvest in the Southeast, which have been gaining momentum in recent weeks," the document says.

Change expected in the coming days.

For today (7), DATAGRO predicts a significant change in the weather, due to the formation of an extratropical cyclone, with characteristics of rapid intensification (known as a “bomb cyclone”), which should cause intense winds and instability in Rio Grande do Sul. 

The National Institute of Meteorology (INMET) has issued warnings for wind gusts that could reach up to 90 km/h in the state.
