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 February 6 and March 6, 2024, the rainfall pattern remains below climatological levels in a large part of the monitored area, with a precipitation deficit on the main course of the Amazon River in Brazilian territory, the hydrographic basins of the Abacaxis, Branco, Coari, Curuá Una, Guaporé, Içá, Iriri, Japurá, Ji-Paraná, Juruena, Mamoré and Marañon rivers, Içá, Iriri, Japurá, Ji-Paraná, 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, Tapajós, Tefé, Teles Pires, Ucayali and the main course of the Solimões River. The main course of the Amazon River in Peruvian territory and the Aripuanã, Beni, Javari, Juruá, Jutaí, Madeira, Purus and Xingu river basins, alternating areas with positive and negative anomalies, were considered to have observed rainfall close to the climatology for the period, mainly due to the rainfall observed in recent weeks. The multi-seasonal forecast model indicates a precipitation deficit over a large part of the monitored area, with greater intensity in the east, south and southeast of the region in the coming weeks.
