On Tuesday morning, residents of the central region of the country were surprised by cloudy skies and lower than usual temperatures, after days of extreme heat. Arnaldo Zuniga, from the Chilean Meteorological Directorate, explained that this situation was expected due to the development of a coastal basin from Coquimbo. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 27 degrees in the capital area, but it is expected to rise over the weekend, even reaching 39 degrees in some areas of Maule, Bio-Bio and Noble.

Tuesday morning surprised residents of the central region of the country, who found themselves with cloudy skies and lower than usual temperatures, given the heat of the past days.
Faced with this scenario, we at Bío Bío Expreso reached out to Arnaldo Zuniga, from the Chilean Meteorological Directorate, who confirmed that this situation was “expected”.
In this sense, he explained, “we continue the sequence of development of the coastal trough, which has been advancing from Coquimbo for three days, starting to spread along the coast, and under certain conditions often allowing thermal inversion to rise.” It allows cloud cover or jackets to enter the valleys.”
In this way, the maximum temperature during this day in the capital region is expected to reach 27 degrees. A very different scenario, for example, than what happened last Monday, when around 10:10 a.m. thermometers read 25 degrees.
High temperatures in the central region
Despite the above, Zuniga confirmed that “in the afternoon the weather will start completely clear (…) and tomorrow temperatures will begin to rise in the valleys throughout the Central Valley, with clear skies.”
In the same way, he announced that “tomorrow we will have a maximum of 31 degrees in Quinta Normal.”
“From now on the heat is coming again. We are likely facing our first climate heat wave. Temperatures will be above 33 degrees on Thursday and Friday, and Saturday may be the hottest day, and we may even reach 33 degrees or 34 degrees in the DC area.” .
However, the situation in the areas of Mauli, Bío Bío and Noble is more complicated, because according to the meteorologist, during this weekend it could “easily reach 37 degrees” or even “some places could reach 39 degrees.”
