Brazil Splits Between Southern Storms and Central Dry Heat as Inmet Warns Brasília of Critical Humidity

The national weather agency projects a volatile October with uneven rainfall patterns that could keep the interior parched as southern systems intensify.

Overview

  • Inmet issued a low-humidity warning for the Federal District on October 1, forecasting relative humidity below 12% and no regular rainfall in Brasília this week.
  • The Distrito Federal recorded an exceptionally low 8% humidity and highs of 33.7°C on September 30 at the Gama and Planaltina stations.
  • Forecasts point to very hot, dry conditions across interior areas of the Southeast, Center-West and Northeast, with daytime peaks near 40°C and humidity reaching critical thresholds.
  • Southern states are set for intensifying rain and thunderstorms with gusty winds under a low-pressure setup and Amazon moisture, with higher risk highlighted for Santa Catarina and Paraná.
  • INMET’s October outlook shows sharp regional contrasts, with above-average rain in parts of Bahia and much of Paraná and below-average totals in areas of Pará, Mato Grosso and Rio Grande do Sul.
