Severe weather and flooding in Três Lagoas

Overview

Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, has faced a period of intense meteorological instability, characterized by extreme heat followed by severe storms. Previous wind gusts caused damage to commercial structures, fallen trees, broken billboards, and tilted lighting poles, while also interrupting water and electricity services.

As weather patterns evolved, a cold front associated with an extratropical cyclone brought the potential for widespread rainfall, with accumulations exceeding 40 millimeters in 24 hours. This instability led to significant flooding in several areas of the city. In the Paranaguá neighborhood, heavy water accumulation on Rua Antônio Estevão Leal caused difficulties for motorists and vehicle malfunctions, while flooding was also reported on Rua Wilson Carvalho Viana.

The Municipal Coordination for Protection and Civil Defense (COMDEC/TL) and the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) have maintained alerts for the region, warning of risks including heavy rain, hail, and wind gusts exceeding 70 km/h. Authorities have advised residents and drivers to avoid risk areas prone to flooding, landslides, or crossing flooded streets due to unknown water depths and potential road damage.
