The Pernambuco Water and Climate Agency (Apac) has issued a bulletin forecasting moderate to heavy rainfall in the Sertão region of Pernambuco starting Wednesday night. The agency has indicated that the rainfall will potentially continue throughout Thursday, with the most intense precipitation expected particularly in the municipality of Petrolina. This weather forecast signals concerns for local residents and farmers in the area who may be impacted by such weather conditions.

Additionally, the bulletin notes that moderate rain is also expected in the Agreste region, specifically in Agreste Meridional, beginning Wednesday night. The heavy rainfall is being attributed to a meteorological system known as a 'cavado' at high levels, which is expected to enhance the rainfall activity in the region, leading to possible disruptions and challenges for the local community and infrastructure.

This is particularly significant as the region has already been facing challenges; just four days prior, a strong rain paired with wind gusts caused various disturbances in Sertão. The combination of recent and upcoming rainfall raises concerns regarding flooding, damage to crops, and access to services, indicating that emergency preparedness measures may be necessary for the affected communities in light of these changing weather patterns.
