Previsão do tempo: feriado terá frio no Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste Quem vai viajar ou aproveitar o feriado prolongado de Corpus Christi em Mato Grosso do Sul deve encontrar tempo firme nos próximos dias. Nesta quinta-feira (4) e na sexta-feira (5), não há previsão de chuva significativa no estado. Durante o feriado o cenário deve se manter, com predomínio de sol e temperaturas mais altas durante as tardes. Segundo a previsão meteorológica, uma área de alta pressão mantém o tempo estável em Mato Grosso do Sul nesta quinta-feira. O sol aparece entre poucas nuvens e o tempo permanece seco em todas as regiões. ✅ Clique aqui para seguir o canal do g1 MS no WhatsApp Apesar do afastamento da massa de ar polar que atuou nos últimos dias, as manhãs seguem com temperaturas mais baixas, principalmente no centro-sul do estado. Em Ribas do Rio Pardo e Nova Alvorada do Sul, as mínimas ficam em torno de 13°C. Já em Dourados e Laguna Carapã, os termômetros devem marcar cerca de 14°C nas primeiras horas do dia. À tarde, as temperaturas sobem. Em Rio Negro, a máxima chega a 31°C. Em Coxim e Sonora, os termômetros podem alcançar 30°C. Em Campo Grande, a quinta-feira será de tempo firme e ensolarado. A temperatura varia entre 16°C pela manhã e 29°C à tarde. Na sexta-feira (5), o tempo continua estável em Mato Grosso do Sul, sem previsão de chuva significativa. O sol predomina ao longo do dia e as temperaturas seguem em elevação durante a tarde. Previsão para o feriado prolongado Para o feriado prolongado de Corpus Christi, entre sexta-feira e domingo (7), a Climatempo prevê predomínio de sol e tempo seco em praticamente todo o estado. As manhãs e noites devem ser mais amenas, enquanto as tardes terão temperaturas entre 29°C e 32°C em cidades como Campo Grande, Dourados, Três Lagoas e Corumbá. Outro ponto de atenção é a baixa umidade relativa do ar. Os índices podem ficar em torno de 30% durante as horas mais quentes do dia, especialmente na metade norte do estado. Há previsão de chuva no feriado? Apesar do predomínio do tempo seco, a aproximação de uma frente fria pode provocar mudanças no fim do período. Segundo a Climatempo, municípios do oeste e do sul de Mato Grosso do Sul, especialmente nas regiões próximas às fronteiras com Paraguai e Bolívia, podem registrar pancadas isoladas de chuva na noite de domingo. A instabilidade deve ocorrer de forma pontual e não tem potencial para mudar o cenário de tempo firme previsto para a maior parte do feriado.

It is no secret that the climate crisis narrative and the policies attendant upon it are facing political headwinds. After decades of climate alarmism about horrors that always are a mere decade or so away there is now substantial evidence that the American public places a much higher priority on such other problems as economic growth and healthcare costs. But is climate alarmism such...

Under the shade of recently planted poplars in Afghanistan, village leader Ghulam Ali Poya is proud to see residents rediscover the value of trees after years of wartime deforestation. “There were forests of pistachio trees,” he told AFP, gesturing to the bare mountains that surround Char Bagh’s mud homes. “During the conflicts and the civil war, they were destroyed; no one could stop the logging.” From the 1979 Soviet invasion until the fall of the first Taliban government in the early 2000s, “around 50 per cent of Afghanistan’s forest cover was lost”, said Mohammad Nasir Shalizi, a researcher at North Carolina State University. In eastern Afghanistan, timber smuggling to Pakistan drove massive logging, while in the more arid central and northern “pistachio belt”, residents used wood for heating and cooking. This photograph taken on May 18, 2026 shows Afghan farmer Bas Begum Ahmadi (R) with her husband Abdul Samad Ahmadi standing next to paulownia trees at her family-owned plot. —AFP But in the last two decades, deforestation has slowed “substantially”, Shalizi said. Forest cover has increased 35pc nationwide since 2011, according to the National Statistics and Information Authority, though just 2.5pc of Afghanistan was forested in 2025 and cover is still shrinking in some areas. But experts say communities are working to improve forest cover. Both the US-backed government, in place until 2021, and the current Taliban administration have supported tree-planting campaigns. In Char Bagh, the Aga Khan Development Network funded a kilometre-square grove which includes poplars, paulownias, pomegranates and persimmons. This photograph taken on May 11, 2026 shows pine seedlings at a nursery in Paghman district, Kabul province. Under the shade of recently planted poplars in northeastern Afghanistan. —AFP ‘A model’ The land belongs to farmer Bas Begum Ahmadi, who hopes to sell fruit and homemade jam, but it is also open to the community of 350 families. “Having these trees makes me feel good; my environment is green, and we breathe fresh air,” said the 45-year-old, who tends the trees with her husband to support their four children. This photograph taken on April 20, 2026 shows Afghan municipality workers and residents planting trees next to a park in Charikar district, Parwan province. —AFP This “micro-forest” follows Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki’s principles: dense planting of mostly local species of varying heights. It is noticeably cooler than the surrounding bare fields and offers twigs for stove fuel and leaves that feed livestock. Micro-forests “restore ecosystems, improve soil fertility, help climate resilience, and support community livelihood,” said Parisa Malikzada, Afghanistan agriculture coordinator for the organisation, which has planted 500 micro-forests in seven provinces. Poya said the forest, next to a river, prevents soil erosion during flooding and offers “a model for people”. This photograph taken on May 18, 2026 shows Afghan farmer Abdul Samad Ahmadi examining a paulownia tree at his family-owned plot, which supports a micro-forest in the Char Bagh area of Doshi district, Baghlan province. —AFP “Everyone comes to have a look, and they’d like to have one too,” he told AFP. In Afghanistan, where many places are hard to reach and the state has limited funds, community-based forest management is the most effective approach to reforestation, experts told AFP. Penalties for tree cutting Afghan authorities have set a goal of planting 200 million trees between 2023 and 2030, relying partly on NGOs, the United Nations and the private sector. “Last year, the target was eight million, but in the end, 17 million were planted,” said Rohullah Amin, head of climate change at the General Environmental Protection Agency, where he has worked for more than a decade. This year’s goal is nine million. This photograph taken on May 11, 2026 shows deodar cedar seedlings at a nursery in Paghman district, Kabul province. Under the shade of recently planted poplars in northeastern Afghanistan. —AFP Challenges include selecting native, climate-adapted species, water scarcity, and livestock damaging saplings. Some forests have struggled with “lack of care or water”, Amin acknowledged, including one site where drought killed 70pc of the planted pines. In some places, tribal councils protect forests and penalise residents who damage them. Elsewhere, “forest management associations” run by elected villagers and farmers have been set up. The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has helped them plant five million trees since 2019, according to its climate change chief, Muhammad Safi. Birds coming back The government created nurseries to grow local species in places such as Paghman on state land on Kabul’s outskirts. Head gardener Mahmood Khwajazada carefully tends almond, pine nut and walnut trees, as well as deodar cedars, for distribution nationwide. “Our Prophet said, ’Even if you have only one day left, plant a tree,” he told AFP. This photograph taken on May 11, 2026 shows Afghan farmers tending to a nursery in Paghman district, Kabul province. Under the shade of recently planted poplars in northeastern Afghanistan. —AFP In Charikar, northeastern Afghanistan, where thousands of saplings were planted this year along streets, in parks and on hillsides, the municipality sees “a change” in people’s attitude towards trees. Ahmad Khalid Sabiri, a resident, said he volunteered to help plant “because it’s beneficial for the environment”. Experts said more work is needed to protect the remaining old growth, as well as planting in forests rather than just in urban areas.
