The Secretary of State for the Environment and Water Resources (Semarh) of Brazil has issued a weather alert for all regions of Alagoas starting Thursday due to forecasts of rain showers, gusty winds, and isolated lightning strikes. This alert remains in effect until Sunday and is linked to a weather system involving instability caused by a trough at high altitudes over the Atlantic Ocean, which promotes the development of heavy cloud formations in the Northeast region.

According to the Superintendence of Natural Disaster Prevention (SPDEN), the expected weather changes pose several risks, including strong wind gusts that could lead to property damage such as roof displacement, downed trees, and hazardous debris from poorly secured signs. Additionally, the possibility of rainfall may lead to urban flooding, particularly in areas with inadequate drainage systems. However, as of now, there is no indication of risk for overflowing rivers in the region.

Residents of Alagoas are advised to stay informed about the weather conditions and take precautionary measures to mitigate potential damage. Local authorities are monitoring the situation closely to ensure public safety and provide timely updates as the weather situation develops over the weekend.
