Southern Brazil faces severe weather alerts and emergency declarations
Southern Brazil is facing a period of severe weather, with multiple states under meteorological alerts. In Rio Grande do Sul, the National Secretariat for Civil Protection and Defense has recognized a state of emergency in 19 municipalities following disasters in July, which included intense rain, floods, tornadoes, and hail. Since July, more than 2,600 people have been displaced across 118 municipalities in the state. A recent bomb cyclone also resulted in one death and five injuries.
Inmet has issued orange and yellow alerts for parts of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, warning of intense rain, lightning, hail, and wind gusts that could reach 100 km/h. Santa Catarina's Civil Defense has also warned of a sequence of severe weather days through Saturday, with high risks of damage to power grids, trees, and buildings.
In Paraná, the FAEP system is advising rural producers to document losses from recent tornadoes and storms to facilitate insurance claims and debt renegotiations. Meanwhile, other parts of Brazil are experiencing heatwaves and low humidity, with Inmet issuing alerts for the Center-West and Southeast regions.
