Current conditions
Maps of observed precipitation conditions, individual graphics by basin are produced from MERGE/GPM data generated by INPE/CPTEC, considering the period from de 2000 a 2023. Between 23 de January and February 21, 2024, tthe rainfall pattern remains below the climatology for a large part of the monitored area, with a precipitation deficit on the main course of the Amazon River in Brazilian territory, the basins of the Beni, Branco, Guaporé, Içá, Japurá, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Juruena, Mamoré, Marañon, basins on the left bank of the Amazon in the northeast of the state of Amazonas, the northeast and northwest of the state of Pará, Napo, Negro, Purus, Tefé, Teles Pires, Ucayali and the main course of the Solimões River. The main course of the Amazon River in Peruvian territory and the hydrographic basins of the Abacaxis, Aripuanã, Curuá Una, Javari, Madeira, Tapajós and Xingu rivers, alternating areas with positive and negative anomalies, were considered to have observed precipitation close to the climatology for the period, while the hydrographic basins of the Coari, Iriri and Jutaí rivers showed positive precipitation anomalies. The multi-seasonal forecast model indicates a precipitation deficit again prevailing over almost the entire monitored area, with greater intensity in the east of the region over the eastern Amazon in the coming weeks.
