Brazil weather: El Niño triggers record rain and storm alerts FAST-MOVING

The onset of spring in Brazil is being heavily influenced by a strong El Niño phenomenon, leading to extreme weather patterns across several regions. In Rio de Janeiro, the city has recorded its rainiest September in 29 years, with rainfall totals reaching 171.9 mm as of late September.

In the Southeast, Inmet has issued danger alerts for heavy rainfall accumulation, ranging from 50 to 100 mm, affecting São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo. This instability is characterized by alternating periods of intense storms, lightning, and high temperatures with irregular rainfall distribution.

Southern and coastal regions are also experiencing significant shifts. Santa Catarina has faced cold air masses bringing temperatures near freezing and potential frost, while Paraná is under alert for falling temperatures across 153 municipalities. Meteorologists note a high probability that this El Niño event will be one of the most intense on record, potentially lasting until early 2027.
