Santa Catarina faces emergencies after storms and tornado
Santa Catarina is facing severe weather conditions, including the aftermath of intense storms and an incoming polar air mass. The state's Civil Defense reports that 18 municipalities have declared a state of emergency following storms that affected 62 municipalities. These events have left 237 people displaced and 239 people temporarily relocated. A tornado was officially confirmed in Três Barras during the storm wave on September 11.
Forecasts indicate a period of intense cold, with temperatures expected to drop to as low as -1°C in the highlands and near 5°C in the Mid-West and Plateaus. While a brief period of stability is expected mid-week, the Civil Defense warns of a return of heavy rain and potential storms starting Friday, September 18, which may impact all regions of the state.
