Next Monday and Tuesday the Carnival holiday is celebrated and many tourists take the opportunity to enjoy the different beaches of Uruguay. However, according to forecasts by meteorologists consulted by The Observerthe weather will be unstable.
After the rains on Thursday, “on Friday the temperature rises”, but “on the night of Saturday the 26th of Carnival, the weather begins to worsen”said the meteorologist Mario Bidegain in dialogue with The Observer.
On Saturday, according to José Serra, also a meteorologist, “temperatures will range between a maximum of 29° to 30° and a minimum of 16°” and there will be “variable cloudiness.”
According to Sierra, on Sunday the 27th it will be “unstable with rains and storms”, but with “temporary improvements towards the afternoon”. The Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology (Inumet) also forecasts storms for the entire country. The temperatures will be “27° the maximum and 18° the minimum”Serra reported to The Observer.
As for “severe storms” they can occur “in the north and center of the country”Serra said. These storms are “those that are accompanied by electrical manifestations, strong winds and copious abundant rainfall”, explained the meteorologist. He also warned that there may be “downdrafts that lead to the formation of a squall,” like the one that hit Maldonado on Sunday twenty.
Serro assured that these “squalls” are “typical of the times,” but that due to climate change “they are going to become more frequent and more severe.”
“Monday is going to wake up ugly, covered” but “it is going to improve as the day goes on”, stated Mario Bidegain. Both José Serra and Inumet agree that there will be no rain, except for the northern region of the country that will remain “unstable”, according to the meteorologist. Specifically, the areas with a thunderstorm warning on the Inumet portal are: northwest, northeast and east. The temperature will be “28° the maximum and 18° the minimum”reported to The ObserverSerra.
Tuesday will be “practically clear,” Bidegain said. Serra, on the other hand, forecast “somewhat cloudy to cloudy skies.” “With temperatures of 28° to 29° the maximum, 19° the minimum”, Serra told The Observer.
