Authorities reported that flooding and landslides affected areas such as Recife, Pernambuco, where at least two fatalities occurred. Around 1,500 people were displaced due to storms in both Pernambuco and Paraiba states.

The National Center for Risk and Disaster Management in Brazil issued 22 emergency alerts during this weather event. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated, “The government continues to monitor the situation to provide all necessary assistance.”

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) also issued a yellow warning for rainfall, lightning, and strong winds in Delhi for the next two days. The IMD recorded a maximum temperature of 38.6 degrees Celsius at Safdarjung station.

This pattern of severe weather is not new. A study released last year found that rain disasters, including flooding and landslides, tripled in Brazil from 1991 to 2023. This alarming trend raises concerns about future events.

The IMD has predicted temperatures between 36–38 degrees Celsius during the day across Delhi-NCR. Additionally, it issued orange and yellow alerts for different parts of the area warning of thunderstorms and gusty winds.

The impact of these weather conditions may continue to escalate as observers remain vigilant. The operational level was raised to maximum alert due to the impacts in Pernambuco and Paraiba.
