Brazil weather alerts: Storms in South and Southeast, low humidity in Center-West

Brazil is facing widespread weather instability, characterized by severe storms in the South and Southeast, and extreme low humidity in the Center-West and Northeast.

In the South, an extratropical cyclone and an atmospheric river from the Amazon are expected to bring heavy rainfall, potentially exceeding 200 mm in parts of Rio Grande do Sul. The Rio Grande do Sul State Civil Defense has issued Hydrometeorological Warning 15/2026, noting risks of flooding in the Taquari and Caí river basins, as well as wind gusts exceeding 90 km/h. Santa Catarina and Paraná also face risks of storms, hail, and intense rain.

In the Southeast, Inmet has issued orange alerts for storms in Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and parts of Minas Gerais. Minas Gerais is also under a yellow alert for storms in 505 cities.

In the Center-West and Northeast, significant risks of low air humidity persist. Orange alerts are active for eastern and northeastern Mato Grosso, and northwestern and northern Goiás, as well as southern Maranhão, southern Piauí, and northwestern Bahia. Temperatures in the interior of Bahia may approach 40°C.
