☆ Brazil floods: More intense rain expected as death toll reaches 107

CNN —More heavy rain is expected to pummel Brazil, as the South American nation grapples with the deadly fallout of last week’s extreme weather, which submerged whole neighborhoods. The heavy rains and floods have killed at least 107 people in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul since last week, the state’s civil defense agency said Thursday morning. Officials are urging those who have been rescued from the floods not to return to their homes, warning that more rain is in the forecast. “It is important to highlight that the predicted volumes of rain may cause new disruptions in areas already affected previously,” a statement from INMET read. The record rainfall hitting the region has been linked to El Niño, a natural climate phenomenon that warms waters in the Pacific and tends to bring heavy rainfall to southern Brazil.

☆ Brazil: 'Extratropical cyclone' in Rio Grande Do Sul leaves 11 dead

CNN —At least 11 people have died, 20 are missing and more than 2,000 have been left homeless after an “extratropical cyclone” hit Brazil’s Rio Grande Do Sul, local authorities say. “Our priority at the moment is to find the missing and save people who may still be stranded by the floods.” Leite wrote in a statement. Extreme weather around the world is becoming more intense and more frequent against the backdrop of a fast-warming climate. The proportion of high-intensity hurricanes, or tropical cyclones, has increased due to the warmer global temperatures, according to the UN. Scientists have also found that the storms are more likely to stall and lead to devastating rainfall and they last longer after making landfall.
