A severe weather warning has been issued for the São Paulo coastline as heavy rainfall is expected throughout the region on Tuesday, leading to a high risk of flooding and landslides. The state’s civil defense has indicated that areas along the coast are predicted to receive the highest rainfall this week. This alert comes after a series of storms that have already affected the region since Saturday, raising concerns for local residents and authorities alike.

In an official statement, the civil defense has issued a red alert for accumulated rainfall across the entire coastline, extending until Friday. They have also activated a crisis cabinet to ensure that rescue teams can respond effectively to any emergencies that may arise. The forecast suggests that some places may receive as much as 175 mm of rain, with the potential for even greater amounts in specific areas, emphasizing the severity of the situation.

Authorities are urging residents to take precautions and remain vigilant as conditions may deteriorate further. This ongoing weather system not only poses risks to safety but also threatens infrastructure and agriculture in the affected regions. The situation requires close monitoring, as emergency services are prepared to mobilize as necessary to support any regions that are severely impacted by the storms.
