In Cajazeiras, located in the Sertão region of Paraíba, a substantial rainfall of 113 millimeters was recorded in the last 24 hours, as reported by the Executive Water Management Agency (Aesa-PB). The rainfall led to the overflow of the Açude Grande reservoir, indicating the significant impact on local water levels and resources. Other nearby cities, such as Carrapateira and Diamante, also experienced considerable rainfall, contributing to overall humidity in the region.

This recent rainfall seems to follow a pattern observed over the past years, with a total of 430 millimeters recorded between January and February 2026. Comparatively, similar periods in the previous years yielded a slightly lower precipitation with 410 millimeters in 2025, 370 millimeters in 2024, and 405 millimeters in 2023. This consistency in rainfall may suggest changes or trends in regional climate patterns that could affect local agriculture and water resource management.

The implications of this heavy rainfall are significant for Cajazeiras and surrounding areas, as it impacts agricultural planning, water supply, and potential flooding risks. Enhanced meteorological monitoring and responsive community strategies might be necessary to mitigate adverse effects, especially as weather patterns continue to evolve in the sertão region of Paraíba.
