Brazil weather alerts issued for storms and potential tornadoes

Severe weather alerts have been issued across multiple regions of Brazil, including the South, Southeast, and Center-West. The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has placed several states under warning for potential storms, heavy rainfall, and hail.

In the South, Santa Catarina and Paraná face risks of intense rain and thunderstorms, with an extratropical cyclone expected to intensify near the coast of Rio Grande do Sul. In the Center-West, Mato Grosso do Sul is under a red alert for potential tornadoes, microexplosions, and high winds exceeding 100 km/h.

In the Southeast, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais are under yellow alerts for storms. The city of São Paulo has already recorded 90 mm of rain in the first ten days of September, which is 36.4% above the monthly average. Local authorities, including the Civil Defense, are advising residents in vulnerable areas to prepare for potential flooding, landslides, and power outages.
