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 July 9 and August 7, 2024, the rainfall pattern remains below climatological levels in a large part of the monitored area, with a precipitation deficit along the course of the Amazon in Peruvian and Brazilian territory, the basins of the Abacaxis, Aripuanã, Beni, Coari, Curuá Una, Guaporé, Içá, Iriri, Japurá, Javari, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Juruena, Jutaí, Madeira, Mamoré, Marañon, basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northeast of the state of Amazonas and 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 Branco River basin, alternating areas with positive and negative anomalies, was considered to have precipitation close to the climatology for the period. The multi-seasonal forecast model indicates rainfall below climatology predominating over tributaries on the right bank of the Solimões River in the state of Amazonas and positive rainfall anomalies in the far west and southwest of the monitored area in the first week.
