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 October 15 and November 13, 2024, the picture of rainfall below climatology remains in the north of the monitored area with a precipitation deficit (orange), over the Amazon River in Brazilian territory, the basins of the Abacaxis, Aripuanã, Branco, Curuá Una, Japurá, Juruá, Jutaí rivers, the 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, Tefé and the main course of the Solimões River. With areas of positive precipitation anomalies (blue) over the Amazon River in Peruvian territory, the Beni, Guaporé, Javari, Mamoré, Marañon and Ucayali river basins. The Coari, Içá, Iriri, Ji-Parané, Juruena, Madeira, Purus, Tefé, Teles Pires and Xingu river basins alternated areas with positive and negative anomalies, and were considered to have precipitation close to the climatology for the period. The multi-seasonal forecast model indicates rainfall close to climatology predominating over a large part of the monitored region and positive rainfall anomalies predominating over basins in the north, center and southwest of the region.
