São Paulo faces a November Sunday marked by low temperatures and instability due to the extratropical cyclone affecting southern, southeastern, and central-western Brazil. The capital is expected to record minima of 14°C to 15°C and maxima around 20°C to 21°C, with possible drizzle and moderate wind gusts. Weather alerts persist for strong winds in coastal areas.
The extratropical cyclone, which has already caused significant impacts over the weekend, continues to influence Brazil's weather on Sunday, November 9. In the São Paulo capital, the day starts with relatively mild conditions, but instability increases, with clouds, possible fog or light drizzle in the morning. In the afternoon, quick and isolated rains may occur, accompanied by moderate winds of up to 50 km/h to 60 km/h, according to the Center for Climate Emergencies Management (CGE) and the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet).
Temperatures in São Paulo range between 14°C and 21°C, with a sharp drop noted after the system's passage in the early hours of Saturday. On Saturday, November 8, gusts reached 79.6 km/h at Congonhas Airport, leading to 106 calls for tree falls and five for collapses by early evening, with no serious injuries. Around 52,000 homes were left without electricity in the metropolitan region.
Nationally, high danger (red) alerts are in place for coastal winds up to 100 km/h along the shores of São Paulo, Paraná, and Rio de Janeiro. Areas like northern Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, and Goiás are under orange alerts for rains of 50 to 100 mm/day and strong winds. A yellow alert covers much of the country for precipitation of 20 to 50 mm/h and winds up to 60 km/h, valid until Sunday morning, except the orange until 23:59.
The cyclone follows a devastating tornado in Paraná on Friday, November 7, which killed six people and injured over 750 in Rio Bonito do Iguaçu and Guarapuava. São Paulo's Civil Defense mobilized a crisis cabinet with firefighters, utility companies, and municipal agencies to monitor and respond to incidents.
