On Friday, the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) in Brazil issued a yellow alert for heavy rain in several municipalities in the interior of Pernambuco. The alert, which started at midnight and is valid until the end of the day, indicates expectations of significant rainfall and strong winds in the affected regions. According to the institute's forecasts, rain could accumulate between 20 to 30 millimeters per hour, potentially reaching up to 50 millimeters throughout the day, along with wind speeds from 40 to 60 km/h.

While the meteorological conditions call for caution, Inmet categorizes the risk for more severe incidents as low. Nevertheless, residents in the highlighted municipalities are advised to be prepared for adverse weather conditions and to follow safety precautions. The alert emphasizes the necessity for individuals, especially in vulnerable areas, to stay informed about the weather developments and to take necessary measures to protect themselves and their property.

The municipalities affected by this alert include Afogados da Ingazeira, Águas Belas, and Arcoverde, among others. Local authorities and the population are encouraged to monitor weather updates and heed any further advisories from Inmet to ensure safety measures are implemented accordingly. The focus on these regions highlights the importance of preparedness for heavy weather phenomena in light of recent climate patterns contributing to erratic weather conditions.
