Rising temperatures in the South region can trigger a series of events. The condition will be a harbinger of the unseasonably warm weather forecast for the weekend. This must happen due to the winds that leave the Amazon region towards the south of the continent, carrying an intense mass of hot air to the south of Brazil, Paraguay, northern Argentina and Uruguay.

Above average temperatures can be harmful to winter wheat and fruits (such as nectarines, peaches, apples). For wheat, high temperatures can accelerate the growth cycle, reducing the time for grain development and maturation, which can lead to a decrease in grain yield and quality.

According to Portal Agrolink meteorologist, Gabriel Rodrigues, in relation to winter fruits, they need a certain number of hours of cold to break dormancy and produce quality fruits. Higher temperatures can interfere with this process, reducing fruit productivity and quality.
