This is an alarm situation due to heavy rain, also in Grande Porto Alegre.
Over the course of the week the temperature drops, but the air becomes suffocating. The maximum temperature is between 27°C and 29°C and the minimum temperature is between 20°C and 23°C. Rio Grande do Sul will continue the week with the forecast of several rain showers, some periods of sun and stale air.
