Juiz de Fora and the surrounding region are still coping with the aftermath of devastating storms that have already resulted in 65 fatalities and declared a state of calamity. Weather forecasts indicate a return of heavy rainfall starting this Friday, with the most intense precipitation expected on Sunday, raising alarm among residents and officials. The Brazilian National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued a weather alert effective from early Sunday, warning of possible flooding, landslides, and river overflow, particularly in vulnerable areas.

The forecast predicts rainfall between 60 mm and 100 mm per day, which could exacerbate the already vulnerable conditions in the area. The temperature is expected to range from a low of 16 °C to a high of 28 °C, creating an environment conducive to further storms. Experts emphasize the importance of preparation and vigilance among residents, as the lingering effects of previous storms make the region susceptible to additional disasters.

Looking ahead, climatologist Lizandro Gemiacki has indicated that the rainy weather is likely to continue into the following week, suggesting that the community may face ongoing challenges due to this sustained rainfall pattern. Local authorities are likely to remain on high alert as they monitor the situation closely, with a focus on ensuring public safety amid these severe weather conditions.
