The temperature during the wave can reach 35º or exceed this average at several points, registering the highest levels between the central and western regions of the state of São Paulo. northwest of Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, Triângulo Mineiro and south of Goiás.

Fabio Luengo, meteorologist at Climatempo, says that these heat waves are not rare at this time of year and, in addition, this condition will prevent a cold front from reaching the Center-West to the Southeast of the country, leaving the climate dry and high temperatures.

Climatic factors that form heat waves

Maria Clara Sassaki, meteorology specialist, explains the factors that contribute to the formation of heat waves, including a mass of hot air and atmospheric blockages that prevent the passage of cold fronts, taking them to the ocean and air. hot gets stronger and stronger.

According to meteorologists, heat waves form when the temperature is at least 5ºC above average for a period of one week, and they are more common in winter or spring, and are not common in summer.
