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 November 5 and December 4, 2024, the picture of below-climatological rainfall remains 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, Curuá Una, Içá, Iriri, Japurá, Javari, Ji-Paraná, Juruá, Jutaí, 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, Guaporé and Mamoré river basins. The Abacaxis, Branco, Coari, Juruena, Madeira, Marañon, Tapajós, Ucayali 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 above the climatology, predominantly over the central region of the monitored area, following the main course of the Solimões and Amazonas rivers in Brazilian territory, from December 4th to 10th.
