On February 18, Campo Grande experienced severe weather with hail, strong winds, and flooding, particularly affecting urban neighborhoods like Coophatrabalho. This unusual weather coincided with the end of the Carnival season, leading to increased visibility of the damage and disruptions. The National Center for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters (Cemaden) reported approximately 22.6 millimeters of rain during the day, contributing to the flooding conditions.

Meteorologists from Climatempo noted that the combination of heat and humidity would likely keep the weather unstable throughout the Mato Grosso do Sul region, with predictions of irregular rainfall continuing. Reports from affected areas indicated trees were downed, many residents were without electricity since early afternoon, and damages were still being assessed by local authorities. The regional utility company Energisa and Civil Defense have been engaged in addressing the resulting power outages and infrastructure damage in the affected neighborhoods.

As the situation develops, residents are advised to remain alert for ongoing weather alerts and updates from meteorological services. The forecast indicates that unstable weather patterns may persist, which could lead to further challenges for the community as recovery efforts begin. The implications of such weather extremes could underline the need for better preparedness and infrastructure resilience against similar events in the future.
