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 March 5 and April 3, 2024, the rainfall pattern remains below climatology in a large part of the monitored area, with a rainfall deficit on the main course of the Amazon River in Peruvian territory, the hydrographic basins of the Abacaxis, Aripuanã, Beni, Branco, Coari, Curuá Una, Guaporé, Içá, Japurá, Javari, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Juruena, Jutaí, Mamoré, Marañon, basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northeast and northwest of the state of Pará, Napo, Negro, Purus, Tapajós, Tefé, Teles Pires, Ucayali, Xingu and the main course of the Solimões River. The main course of the Amazon River in Brazilian territory, the basins of the Iriri and Madeira rivers and the basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northeast of the state of Amazonas, alternating areas with positive and negative anomalies, were considered to have observed rainfall close to the climatology for the period. The multi-seasonal forecast model indicates a reduction in the rainfall deficit in the southern part of the monitored area, with an increase in rainfall, and an increase in the rain fall deficit in the north of the region in the coming weeks, mainly over the eastern Amazon.
