Temperature variation in states, according to Inmet
Also according to the forecast made by the institute, some cities such as Cuiabá, capital of Mato Grosso, are expected to have temperatures above 40ºC.
To be even more precise, Inmet's forecast indicates that the maximum for the municipality could reach around 43 °C between the 21st and 22nd of September.
Furthermore, Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo must present thermal levels above 40 °C. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the use of adequate protection, especially when traveling in open environments.
Inmet also warns that people should maintain constant hydration, avoid long-term exposure to sunlight as much as possible and maintain good air circulation indoors. This prevents heat-related complications and problems.
