Severe weather alerts issued for Brazil and Portugal

Severe weather systems are impacting both Brazil and Portugal. In Brazil, an extratropical cyclone and an atmospheric river are driving heavy rainfall, particularly in the southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Rainfall accumulations are expected to exceed 200 mm in some areas, raising risks of flooding, landslides, and tornadoes. Inmet has issued various alerts, including orange alerts for storms in Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and parts of Minas Gerais.

In Portugal, the IPMA has issued weather warnings across the mainland. Four northern districts—Porto, Aveiro, Coimbra, and Braga—were placed under an orange alert for heavy rain, hail, and thunderstorms. Additionally, 11 districts are under a yellow alert. The region is also bracing for a significant drop in temperatures due to an incoming polar maritime air mass, with some interior areas expected to see minimum temperatures below 10°C.
