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 August 6 and September 4, 2024, the rainfall pattern remains below the climatology in a large part of the monitored area with a precipitation deficit over the course of the Amazon in Peruvian and Brazilian territory, the hydrographic basins of the Abacaxis, Aripuanã, Beni, Coari, Guaporé, Içá, Iriri, Japurá, Javari, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Juruena, Jutaí, Madeira, Marañon rivers, basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northeast of the State of Pará, Napo, Negro, Purus, Tapajós, Tefé, Teles Pires, Ucayali, Xingu and the main course of the Solimões River. The basins of the Branco, Curuá Una, Mamoré rivers and the basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northeast of the State of Amazonas and in the northwest of the State of Pará, alternating areas with positive and negative anomalies, were considered to have precipitation close to the climatology for the period. The subseasonal multimodel forecast indicates rainfall below the climatology prevailing over a large part of the basin and precipitation in isolated areas in the Curuá Una River and the basins on the left bank of the Amazon River in the northeast of the State of Amazonas and in the northwest of the State of Pará.
