In Ubatuba, a municipality in northern São Paulo, a severe storm occurred between Thursday, February 26, and Friday, February 27, dumping approximately 300 millimeters of rain in just 24 hours. This amount of rainfall exceeded the typical historical average for the entire month of February, which is around 290 millimeters, highlighting the severity of the weather event. The intense rainfall led to severe flooding and landslides, particularly affecting the northern regions of the city.

One of the most notable impacts of the storm was in the Sertão do Ubatumirim neighborhood, where the force of the water swept away a bridge that had been inaugurated only a few months prior, in October of the previous year. The destruction of the bridge has disrupted access for local residents, with substantial implications for transportation and safety in the area. While the municipality has communicated that the company in charge of the bridge's construction will oversee the rebuilding efforts, they have not provided a timeline for when this work will be completed.

The storm also prompted emergency responses, including rescues by the Fire Department for three individuals trapped in a vehicle at Praia da Fazenda, also located in the northern area of Ubatuba. Fortunately, despite the extensive damage and dangerous conditions, there have been no reported casualties as a result of the storm. This event not only underscores the impact of extreme weather on local communities but also raises concerns about infrastructure resilience in the face of such climatic challenges.
