There are regions in Brazil where the trend of maximum temperatures is already up to 3°C higher than that recorded in the 1960s, according to an analysis by Inpe (National Institute for Space Research) published this week.
The study compares the trend of maximum temperatures recorded in the 1960s with the trend of maximums in the period 2010-2020. The North and Northeast have a high concentration of areas with significant growth in the trend of maximum temperatures.
“We are not talking about the future [en el análisis]We are talking about the present. The projections are already being confirmed earlier than what was projected,” says researcher Lincoln Alves, Inpe’s climatologist, about the report he led. Parts of the Center-West, including areas of the Pantanal, appear on the map prepared by Inpe as areas that have experienced a considerable increase in the trend of maximum temperatures.”
