The most accurate data is the weather for today, the weather for tomorrow, or the weather forecast for the week. The weather forecast for a month is considered long-term.

The southern regions are characterized by the active occurrence of atmospheric fronts, which brings precipitation, strong winds, thunderstorms, and hurricanes. The influence of the sun and the difference in temperature of the air masses play an important role in forecasting. Pronounced seasonality allows making a more accurate forecast.
