With a Climatempo alert issued this Sunday (14), the arrival of the cold front promises heavy rain for the South starting Monday (15), with storms in Rio Grande do Sul and showers also affecting areas of Santa Catarina and Paraná throughout the day and risk of disruptions.
This Sunday (14), Climatempo issued a special alert for the arrival of a cold front that will bring heavy rain to the South starting Monday (15), hitting Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Paraná with heavy clouds, intense downpours, and the possibility of storms in various areas.
The state that requires the most attention is Rio Grande do Sul, where intense rain showers and storms are expected to advance mainly through the west and the interior, while the southern half experiences a drop in temperature, while parts of Santa Catarina and Paraná still face heat even with the weather change.
Climatempo Alert and Advance of the Cold Front
According to the warning issued this Sunday (14), the cold front combines with areas of instability and organizes a scenario of heavy rain for the South starting Monday (15).

Scientists find a methane-free ecosystem in the Peru-Chile Trench, sustained by unique microorganisms that live off sulfur and challenge theories about life in extreme environments.
The system gains strength over the continent and starts to act more intensely specifically over the three states of the southern region.
The forecast is for heavy clouds, intense rain showers, and storms in different areas, with a higher risk for Rio Grande do Sul.
The advance of the cold front creates conditions for periods of persistent rain in some locations, especially in the interior, while other areas register quicker, though heavy, showers.
Rio Grande do Sul Concentrates Highest Risk of Storms
In Rio Grande do Sul, the alert is strongest. The cold front advances over the state and brings rain mainly to the west and interior, where there is forecast of heavy rain, with high volume and risk of storms.
These regions should feel the most severe effects of the change in wind and moisture circulation patterns.
In the southern half of the state, temperatures drop with the entrance of colder air associated with the front.
Thus, while the rain intensifies in various areas, the population in this part of the gaucho territory also perceives a noticeable drop in temperature throughout Monday (15), reinforcing the feeling of a sudden weather change.
Santa Catarina and Paraná: Heat, Showers, and Weaker Rain in the East
In Santa Catarina and Paraná, the scenario is marked by the contrast between heat and instability. In the western half of Santa Catarina and the northern and western parts of Paraná, the chance of rain showers is high, with the possibility of episodes of heavy rain for the South also in these areas, although in a more localized manner than in Rio Grande do Sul.
Meanwhile, in the eastern regions of Santa Catarina and Paraná, the forecast points to weaker and intermittent rain, while heat still predominates in parts of these states.
In light of this scenario of a cold front, temperature drop, and heavy rain for the South, how do you think your city should prepare for the storms predicted on Monday (15)?
