As predicted by meteorological institutes, the heavy weather on Friday afternoon (12) generated areas of instability that are beginning to affect the capital of São Paulo with moderate and strong intensity. This is why the CGE (Climate Emergency Management Center) of the City of São Paulo placed the municipality on flood alert at 3:10 p.m.
CGE radars showed the rain arriving from the far southern zone and, in a short time, it had already spread throughout the city. There is a risk of flooding and gusty winds.
For the moment, no flooding or falling trees have been recorded.
As of 3:47 p.m., Enel said on its website that there were 646,377 properties without electricity in its concession area, including 456,287 in the capital. These figures again follow the massive power outage which left 2.2 million homes in the dark on Wednesday (10), due to the wind caused by the extratropical cyclone in the Southern region.
For this Saturday (13), the forecast indicates that the start should be sunny between clouds and temperatures varying between minimums of 19°C and maximums of 26°C.
But the CGE predicts that the spread of the depression will change the weather throughout the day, once again causing rain in the form of showers across the entire metropolitan region.
Conditions exist for moderate to high intensity spots with lightning and localized wind gusts, keeping the risk of flooding and falling trees high in Greater São Paulo.
Sunday (14), the weather remains cloudy and rainy. Thermometers must vary between a minimum of 20°C and a maximum of 25°C. Continued rains and waterlogged soils maintain a high risk of flooding, falling trees, overflowing rivers and landslides.
