The main focus is on the Southeast. According to Inmet (the National Institute of Meteorology), a cold front that formed in the South is advancing towards the ocean, but should maintain a humidity corridor towards the Southeast.
This combination helps to form heavy clouds and favors localized rain showers, mainly in areas of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo.
The institute also highlights that, even without the expectation of very high volumes in general, the rain can be heavy in isolated points, with lightning, gusts of wind that can exceed 60 km/h to 80 km/h and occasional hail.

At the time of the Brazil game, Inmet points to a chance of rain in all states in the Southeast, including in the capitals.
In São Paulo (SP), the forecast indicates a Saturday with many clouds, lower temperatures and rain showers in the morning, with a tendency for firmer weather at night.
Even so, the day should remain humid and colder, which requires attention from those who intend to watch the match outdoors. Thermometers must vary between 15°C and 22°C.

The capital of Rio de Janeiro must have a minimum of 19°C and a maximum of 29°C. For those who intend to follow the match on beaches, kiosks, bars with an outdoor area or uncovered screens, it is worth paying attention, as instability can disrupt the program in the late afternoon and early evening.
In Belo Horizonte (MG), Saturday will also be unstable. The capital of Minas Gerais should experience rapid rain during the day and at night, with temperatures between 15°C and 23°C. As the match starts at 7pm, there is a chance of rain close to game time.
In Vitória (ES), the forecast indicates showers in the morning and many clouds in the afternoon, with firmer weather at night, but Inmet remains alert for instability in the state, especially due to the humidity associated with the cold front and disturbances in the winds at higher levels of the atmosphere.
