Weather forecast
According to meteorological services, Tuesday (21) starts with sun among clouds on the North Coast and temperatures rise quickly. From the end of the morning, areas of instability are formed and favor the formation of charged clouds over the region.
In the early afternoon, conditions for rain showers return, with a risk of storms, lightning and even a chance of hail in isolated spots. This situation may occur intermittently until early evening. In view of the expected volumes, the orientation for the region of the north coast is of attention due to the soggy soil and the occurrences of landslides already verified in the last days.
