Maputo mais fresco novamente a partir desta quinta-feira

Depois de vários dias de calor intenso, a cidade de Maputo e parte do sul do país deverão registar uma ligeira descida das temperaturas a partir desta quinta-feira, segundo as previsões meteorológicas do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INAM). A mudança deve-se à influência de ventos húmidos provenientes do oceano, que trarão nebulosidade e chuvas fracas em alguns pontos do território nacional.

Para as províncias do norte — Niassa, Cabo Delgado e Nampula — prevê-se céu pouco nublado, localmente muito nublado, com aguaceiros acompanhados de trovoadas e chuvas fracas em algumas áreas. O vento soprará de nordeste a sueste, fraco a moderado.

No centro do país, abrangendo Tete, Zambézia, Manica e Sofala, o céu estará geralmente muito nublado, com chuvas e trovoadas, sobretudo nas províncias de Manica e Tete. O vento soprará de nordeste a sueste, fraco a moderado, podendo ocorrer rajadas locais.

Já no sul de Moçambique, compreendendo Inhambane, Gaza e Maputo, o cenário será de céu muito nublado, com possibilidade de chuvas fracas a moderadas em Gaza e no interior de Inhambane. Em Maputo e nos distritos costeiros de Inhambane, poderão ocorrer chuviscos ou chuvas ligeiras, acompanhadas de vento de sueste fraco a moderado.

As temperaturas máximas previstas para esta quinta-feira são as seguintes (em graus Celsius):

• Tete: 39°C
• Nampula: 34°C
• Pemba e Quelimane: 31°C
• Beira e Lichinga: 30°C
• Vilankulo: 29°C
• Inhambane e Maputo: 28°C
• Chimoio e Xai-Xai: 26°C

Com esta alteração, Maputo volta a respirar um ar mais fresco, quebrando a sequência de dias abafados que marcaram o início da semana. As autoridades meteorológicas recomendam, no entanto, que a população mantenha atenção redobrada quanto às variações climáticas repentinas, especialmente nas zonas propensas a chuvas acompanhadas de trovoadas.
