Six people died in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina in the destruction of Chuva forces affecting the Sul Region, the AFP agency reported this Sunday afternoon (19), citing authorities. Three deaths were recorded both in Rio Grande do Sul and in Santa Catarina. In Rio Grande do Sul, 31 thousand people have been affected by the Chuvas and more than 1,600 have left their homes. The governor of Santa Catarina declared an emergency situation in 64 municipalities. The El Niño phenomenon contributed to an increase in precipitation in the southern region of Brazil. This occurs due to a large movement of winds that influences the dynamics of other air currents, resulting in the retention of cold fronts in Brazilian territory. Consequently, these cold fronts remain for longer periods in the South, as explained by Inmet. Scientists warn of an aggravation of two climatic extremes in Brazil. We expect that, during the months of October, November and December, the trend of chuvas higher than normal in the region will continue.
