Central-West will have a calmer week after storms and extreme hail in MS.

After the severe storms that hit Mato Grosso do Sul over the weekend, the forecast indicates a more stable week for the Central-West region of the country. According to meteorologist Estael Sias, the risk of new extreme events decreases significantly in the coming days.

The recent highlight was the city of Fátima do Sul (MS), which recorded hailstones up to 11 centimeters in diameter — considered gigantic by meteorological standards.

"It was a severe weather situation. An 11-centimeter hailstone is capable of destroying crops, tearing roofs off houses, and even putting lives at risk," Estael stated.

The storms also caused damage to agricultural areas in Dourados, Deodápolis, and Vicentina, with damage to corn crops and vehicles.

According to the meteorologist, the scenario changes throughout this week. Despite the presence of clouds in parts of the region, the trend is for a reduction in rainfall until Thursday, with instability returning only between Friday and Sunday.

"The cold weather is arriving in the Midwest, but it won't be as intense as last week. The risk of severe storms is also much lower," he explained.

Temperatures are expected to drop moderately, especially in southern Mato Grosso do Sul, with lows between 8°C and 10°C. However, no frost is forecast.

In Dourados, the forecast indicates days of sun with some clouds, light rain only at the end of the week, and favorable conditions for fieldwork, such as spraying.

In Goiás, municipalities like Anápolis should expect dry weather, heat, and low relative humidity over the next few days.
"It's a hot and dry week in Anápolis. Humidity is still at comfortable levels, but it tends to decrease in the coming weeks," warned Estael.
