WEATHER FORECAST

For this Wednesday (31) it is possible to expect, according to the Capixaba Institute for Research, Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (Incaper), sun between clouds and showers with storms, starting in the afternoon, in the southern mountainous regions, Grande Vitória and in the south of the Northwest. The other areas have a predominance of sun, without rain.

Grande Vitória is expected to register a temperature variation between 22 ° C and 34 ° C. In the high areas of the Serrana region, where the lowest temperature in the state must be present, the forecast varies between 17 ° C and 35 ° C .

On Thursday (01), unstable weather throughout Espírito Santo. The sun appears through clouds and there are showers with thunderstorms, at certain times of the day, throughout the state. Temperatures drop slightly.

HOW RAIN MEASUREMENT WORKS

The measure used to measure the volume of rain is millimeters per square meter. Imagine a square meter per meter with a liter of water in it. The liquid will rise to the 1mm mark. Explaining clearly, one millimeter of rain equals one liter of water per square meter. For example: if it rained 50 mm it would be 50 liters of water per square meter.

The rainy season is also important. Raining 50 liters of water for a whole day can have a lesser impact than raining the same amount at once, just in an hour.

And how can we measure the rain in a big city? Equipment called rain gauges, which are distributed in several points, will indicate how much it rained, and only these data will allow comparisons of the amounts of rain per day, month and year.
