Meteorological instability continues across Brazil, driven by cold fronts and potential cyclones. In São Paulo, severe storms on October 14 caused widespread flooding, traffic paralysis, and fatalities, including a death from a landslide in Brasilândia. Rapidly rising water in the Anhangabaú tunnel and flooding in metro stations like Trianon-Masp disrupted the capital. By October 16, intense precipitation continued to impact the state. In the capital, the Climate Emergency Management Center (CGE) placed the entire city on alert. Significant flooding occurred in the South Zone, where the Águas Espraiadas stream overflowed and more than 20 vehicles were swept away near Avenida Cupecê. Flooding was also reported in the Anhangabaú tunnel, Liberdade metro station, and Ibirapuera Park. Rainfall in the city averaged 27.8 mm, with some areas recording up to 97 mm in less than an hour. Local authorities noted that a “lack of permeable soil in urban areas” has exacerbated the impact. By mid-October, weather instability expanded nationwide. In Goiás, alerts were issued for storms with winds exceeding 60 km/h, while Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais faced warnings for intense rain and hail. In the Northeast, Teresina experienced heat up to 39°C. In São Paulo state, storms caused landslides in Presidente Prudente and São Luiz do Paraitinga, though the State Civil Defense initially reported no human casualties from these specific events. By October 19, heavy rainfall caused significant disruption in Rio de Janeiro state. In Cambuci, intense storms devastated rural and urban infrastructure, while in Frecheiras, erosion caused by strong torrents led to the closure of strategic roads. In the Monte Verde district, mud made vehicle passage difficult, and rising levels in the Dantas Stream threatened low-lying areas. In Campos, authorities monitored overcast skies and isolated showers. By late October, weather warnings expanded in the Northeast.
