Weather alert indicates risk of tornadoes in São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná

Climatempo issued a tornado risk alert for the states of Paraná, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul on the 10th and 11th. The combination of meteorological factors increases the possibility of formation of "supercells," which, in addition to tornadoes, can generate microbursts, hail, winds above 90 km/h and intense storms. The phenomenon occurs due to the clash between a warm air mass and a cold air mass, which favors atmospheric instability in the region.
