The Campinas region in Brazil is currently under a weather alert due to the forecast of intense rains and potential for severe thunderstorms until Friday. Meteorological predictions indicate that the area could experience rainfall accumulation ranging from 50 to 100 millimeters per day, accompanied by strong winds between 60 to 100 kilometers per hour. The alert, issued by the Center for Meteorological and Climatic Research of Applied Agriculture (Cepagri/Unicamp), warns of the risks associated with such weather conditions.

Meteorologists suggest that the presence of a cold front moving through the region may exacerbate the instability, leading to downpours primarily in the form of thunderstorms. Particularly on Wednesday, meteorological data highlights an expected spike in rainfall intensity, where significant rainfall can lead to flooding potential and hazards from lightning strikes. Additionally, isolated hail is also a possibility in some areas as these storms pass through.

Local authorities advise residents to remain vigilant regarding the risk of flooding and overflowing of streams due to the projected heavy rainfall. Precautions are encouraged to avoid any potential hazards associated with thunderstorms and rapidly changing weather conditions. As the local weather remains unstable in the coming days, it is advisable for the community to stay updated on weather forecasts and to prepare for any necessary emergency responses during this period.
