The state’s worst climate disaster

The number of victims of the floods that hit the region has exceeded the total number of victims of the tragedy caused by an extratropical cyclone in September. Of the 497 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, 300 are affected by the storms.

In Porto Alegre, the level of the Guaíba river has reached a record level, flooded the streets of the historic center and the bus station, as well as forcing several residents to abandon their homes. Salgado Filho airport has suspended operations.

The geographical position of Rio Grande do Sul, between the tropical and polar areas, favors the occurrence of extreme meteorological events, which however have become more intense and frequent with the worsening of global warming. Experts warn that the effects of the climate crisis will be felt increasingly strongly in Brazil in the coming years.
