The first week of September begins with the passage of a cold front that should cause storms and strong winds in several regions of Brazil. Residents of Rio de Janeiro were startled by the force of the gale on Tuesday morning, almost a month after gusts of around 100 km/h caused damage in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. At that time, at least five people died as a result of the impacts of the phenomenon.
The Alerta Rio system issued a weather warning with the forecast of moderate to strong wind gusts between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday early morning. There is a forecast of moderate to heavy rain showers in isolated areas of the capital, accompanied by thunderstorms.
Intense rains in São Paulo put the capital of São Paulo on alert status. The article's infographic also addresses which gust speeds are capable of affecting the human body, explaining the impacts that different wind intensities can have on people.
