Thursday 31 will be the day that Santiaguinos must take into account if they plan to leave home without umbrella. According to the meteorologist Gonzalo Espinosa, that date will mark the return of the rains with greater intensity in the Metropolitan Region.
The specialist indicated that rainfall will begin at about 8:00 a.m. and could extend until the early hours of Friday, August 1. Although more activity is expected in the morning, there is probability of rains throughout the day, which forces to be prepared for climate.
Rains, snow and low temperatures
This new climate front will not only affect Santiago. From Monday, rainfall will cover several regions of the South, such as Maule, Biobío, La Araucanía and Los Ríos. The phenomenon will move to the center of the country from Wednesday 30.
Another relevant fact is that snow will also return to the Central Mountains. The cold air entrance after the frontal system will allow snowfall to fall into Coquimbo, Valparaíso and the Metropolitan, which could benefit water reserves.
The frontal system is linked to an atmospheric river of level 4, one of the most intense recorded in the winter. Although the phenomenon is expected to be severe in Santiago, it could have relevant effects in other regions of the country.
Finally, the front will quickly move to the southern end, leaving the central area behind. However, it is not ruled out that new bad weather systems affect the capital again in later days.
