There's a risk of thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and strong winds between the north and the Serra Gaúcha, the south, the mountains and west of Santa Catarina, and the extreme south of Paraná. In addition to rain, winds with gusts of up to 70 km/h are expected to pass through the Costa Doce and the Middle Coast.

In Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, rain showers gain momentum in the morning. Meanwhile, in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, and Curitiba, Paraná, the weather remains stable throughout the day, with only occasional cloud cover.

In the southeast of the country, the presence of maritime humidity may stimulate the formation of light rain showers over some areas of the southern coast of São Paulo. In other regions of the interior of São Paulo, the weather remains stable, with rising temperatures during the day and low relative humidity between the north and northwest of the state.

Over the weekend, temperatures will drop in the Southeast.

In Minas Gerais, the weather is dry, with a risk of a sharp drop in humidity during the hottest hours. The same is true in the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area.
