A series of severe storms and hailstorms have impacted the Distrito Federal region. An initial storm involving heavy hail and wind gusts of up to 80 km/h caused significant structural damage, including collapsed walls and destroyed roofs, leaving at least 25 people homeless in areas such as Planaltina, Arapoanga, and Samambaia.

Following this, further hailstorms were reported in Taguatinga, Samambaia, Asa Norte, and Águas Lindas. The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) indicated that atmospheric instability, influenced by El Niño, has contributed to warmer and more humid conditions, leading to predictions of persistent rainy weather and continued storm activity.
