Orange Alerts Affect 17 States and the Federal District

In addition to the red alert, Inmet has issued orange alerts, classified as dangerous, for 17 states and the Federal District.

Under warning are Alagoas, Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Pará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Rondônia, Sergipe, and Tocantins, as well as the DF.

In these locations, winds can reach up to 100 km per hour, with rainfall volumes that can also reach 100 millimeters per day.

The institute points to risks of power outages, falling tree branches, flooding, and lightning strikes.

Guidelines in Case of Heavy Rain and High Accumulation

Inmet recommends turning off electrical devices and, in high-risk areas, even the main energy panel. Residents on slopes should watch for signs of changes and stay in sheltered places.

During gusts of wind, the recommendation is not to seek shelter under trees due to the risk of falling and electric discharges.

It is also advised not to park vehicles near transmission towers and advertising signs in case of strong winds.

In flooding situations, the recommendation is to protect belongings with plastic bags. The public should avoid facing bad weather and follow official information.

Understand How the Alert Levels of Inmet Work

Inmet classifies weather warnings into three colors. The yellow alert indicates potential danger, with guidance for caution and monitoring of predicted conditions.

The orange alert represents a dangerous weather situation, requiring constant vigilance and attention to the recommendations of authorities.

Finally, the red alert signals great danger, with a forecast of exceptionally intense phenomena and a high probability of serious damage and accidents, posing a risk to physical integrity or human life.

In these cases, it is essential to follow all instructions and be prepared for emergency measures.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

A former SpaceX engineer left rockets to reinvent home construction and founded a startup that manufactures wall panels from a grass that grows about 15 centimeters per day.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

The United States government approved a potential sale of 100 portable Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to the Brazilian Army, in a package estimated at around 330 million dollars that still depends on negotiations between the two countries.
