The Pernambuco Water and Climate Agency reports significant rainfall across various municipalities in Pernambuco, Brazil, with a particular alert for continued heavy rain in the Sertão region.
The Pernambuco Water and Climate Agency (Apac) has released a report detailing the municipalities in the interior of Pernambuco that experienced the highest rainfall over the past 24 hours. This follows previous meteorological forecasts predicting heavy rain in specific areas, particularly the Agreste and Sertão regions. The data indicates that atmospheric conditions have led to the formation of heavy clouds, which resulted in significant precipitation.
On the same day, Apac issued a 'State of Observation' alert targeted at the Sertão and São Francisco region, anticipating ongoing rainfall throughout the day. Forecasts indicate that these rains may vary in intensity, with moderate to heavy showers expected and potential occurrences of lightning and thunder contributing to the weather's volatility. The warnings are crucial for emergency preparedness in light of the predicted conditions.
Among the recorded rainfalls, two municipalities exceeded 50 millimeters, with Iati in the Agreste receiving the highest at 59.8 mm, which was measured at the Municipal Garage station. These rain events not only affect local agriculture but can also pose risks of flooding and landslides, emphasizing the importance of monitoring weather conditions in these susceptible areas to mitigate disaster risks.
