Rain puts the city of São Paulo on alert for flooding

Heavy rains in São Paulo have led to an alert for flooding across all zones of the city.

The city of São Paulo is currently experiencing heavy rain, prompting authorities to issue a flood alert across all areas of the capital. As reported by the Climate Emergency Management Center (CGE) of the city, the alert was officially announced at 13:43 on Tuesday, October 24. The adverse weather conditions are attributed to high humidity and temperatures, contributing to the formation of instability in the atmosphere.

Meteorological radar images indicate that strong and slow-moving rain is particularly impacting the Vila Prudente area, with moderate rainfall also detected in neighborhoods such as Penha, Ermelino Matarazzo, and Mooca. The CGE emphasizes the potential for further instability throughout the day and into the evening, highlighting the possibility of wind gusts and localized flooding.

Residents are being advised to stay informed about weather developments, as the local government is monitoring the situation closely. The forecast indicates that these unstable conditions may continue, raising alarms about the risk of river and stream overflow in several parts of the city, further complicating the urban infrastructure's ability to cope with the ongoing rainfall.
