The state of São Paulo has been significantly affected by recent heavy rains, with São José do Rio Preto reporting a staggering 105 millimeters of rainfall in just 24 hours. This extreme weather event has prompted the Civil Defense to activate a crisis cabinet in response to the escalating situation, as the warning for intense rains is expected to persist until Monday. The intensity of the rains has been attributed to a low-pressure system over the ocean, in conjunction with the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (ZCAS). In Suzanápolis, the heavy downpour has led to widespread flooding, impacting numerous streets and inundating both homes and businesses. The local authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and as of the latest updates, there have been no reports of fatalities or evacuations due to the flooding. Meanwhile, São Carlos has recorded the highest rainfall in the region during this period at 137 millimeters. As the crisis unfolds, the Civil Defense is working diligently to assess the damage and provide assistance where needed. This situation underscores the growing challenges posed by extreme weather patterns in the region, highlighting the need for effective emergency response strategies in the face of such climate-related incidents.
