“There is no more water either in the soil or in the rivers. This volume of rain will have to be drained in other areas,” adds Josélia Pegorim, of Climatempo.
Practically throughout Rio Grande do Sul it has already rained at least twice as much as normal in the first week of the month alone. “The normal average rainfall in the month of May, over almost the entire state, varies from 140 mm to 180 mm. On the southern coast the average is between 100 mm and 140 mm. So, the prospect of 300mm of rain in five days means doubling the average across much of the state,” he said.
