Weather Forecast: Heat and Rain Expected on Second Day of Enem 2026 Exams
Listen to the story
The second day of the Enem 2026, Brazil's national university entrance exam, may bring difficult weather conditions for students in several regions.
According to a forecast from Inmet, Brazil's national meteorology institute, cities in the state of ParaÃba could see temperatures reach up to 35°C, with a possibility of rain during the day.
The forecast also warns of intense rainfall in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, as well as in the state of Amapá, in the north.
The Enem is taken by millions of students across the country each year and is often used for admission to public and private universities.
Because the exam takes place over two days, weather conditions can affect students differently depending on where they live and when they travel to their exam venues.
High temperatures can increase discomfort inside exam rooms, while sudden rain may cause delays for students getting to test centers.
Authorities typically advise candidates to prepare for changing weather by bringing water, light clothing and protection from rain.
Education officials and exam organizers are expected to monitor conditions closely to avoid disruption to the test schedule.
The Enem plays a central role in Brazil's education system, and performance on it can directly influence university access for many students.
No major changes to the exam schedule have been announced so far because of the weather forecast.
