According to the State’s Civil Defense, heavy rains are expected to hit mainly the regions between the Far West and the South Coast, where rainfall volumes vary between 40 mm and 60 mm, with occasional rains that may exceed these values.
These conditions last throughout the day, with the rain concentrating mainly in areas of the Southern Plateau and the Southern Coast. In these areas, there is a moderate risk for events associated with flooding, occasional flash floods, falling branches and trees, roofing and damage to the electrical network.
Minimum temperatures should vary between 13°C and 18°C in most regions. The maximum values return to values between 26°C and 29°C in the West. In the Valley and on the South Coast, temperatures can reach 25°C. In the mountainous areas and areas of the South Coast closest to Rio Grande do Sul, the weather is colder, with temperatures varying from 15°C to 19°C.

Weather in the next few days
On Saturday (11), the influence of a low pressure area that should move to the high seas and the formation of a new cold front between Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina maintain the possibility of rain between the Southern Plateau and the Coast South. There is still a possibility of hail and strong winds.
The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) issued a potential danger alert for Rio Grande do Sul and areas of Santa Catarina on the border with the state of Rio Grande do Sul. According to the institute, rain can reach up to 50 millimeters per day, and winds can reach 60 kilometers per hour. The risk for flooding and other events, however, is low.

Between Greater Florianópolis and Vale do Itajaí, the sun appears between clouds and temperatures rise, but there are still conditions for isolated thunderstorms, especially at the end of the day, with a low to moderate risk for occurrences. In other areas, firm weather. Maximum temperatures can vary from 20°C to 24°C on the South Coast and Planalto Sul, 25°C to 29°C in Grande Oeste and Planalto Norte and from 27°C to 32°C between Greater Florianópolis, Vale do Itajaí and North Coast.
On Sunday (12), the system that causes the rain remains “parked” in the border region between Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Again, there is a possibility of heavy rain. The risk in areas of Santa Catarina is moderate to high for events such as flooding and flash floods.
