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 29 and November 27, 2024, the picture of rainfall below climatological levels continues in the north of the monitored area with a precipitation deficit (orange), over the Amazon River in Brazilian and Peruvian territory, the basins of the Aripuanã, Coari, Curuá Una, Içá, Japurá, Javari, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Jutaí, Madeira, 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, Purus, Tefé, Teles Pires and the main course of the Solimões River. With areas of positive precipitation anomalies (blue) over the Beni, Mamoré, Morañon and Tapajós river basins. The basins of the Abacaxis, Branco, Guaporé, Iriri, Juruena, Ucayali and Xingu rivers alternated areas with positive and negative anomalies, and were considered to have precipitation close to the climatology for the period. The sub-seasonal multi-model forecast indicates rainfall below climatology prevailing over a large part of the monitored region, with positive rainfall anomalies in isolated areas over the Japurá River basin between December 3 and 10, 2024.
