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 May 28 and June 26, 2024, the rainfall pattern remains below climatological levels in much of the monitored area, with a precipitation deficit along the course of the Amazon in Peruvian territory and in the hydrographic basins of the Abacaxis, Aripuanã, Beni, Coari, Curuá Una, Guaporé, Içá, Iriri, Japurá, Javari, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Juruena, Jutaí, Madeira, Mamoré, Marañon, Napo, Negro, Purus, Tapajós, Tefé, Teles Pires, Ucayali, Xingu and the main course of the Solimões River. In recent weeks, higher volumes of precipitation have been recorded over the north and northeast of the monitored area, with the Branco basin and basins on the left bank of the Aamaoznas River in the northeast and northwest of the state of Pará currently characterized by positive precipitation anomalies. The main course of the Amazon River in Brazilian territory and basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northwest 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 predominance of rainfall below the climatology in a large part of the monitored area, with a predominance of rainfall deficits in the central, northern, western, southern and southwestern regions over the next two weeks in the Amazon basin.
