The rain that has hit Espírito Santo since the early hours of this Saturday (3) caused the cancellation of eight flights, postponed Marcelo Falcão's show and prevented the arrival of two chefs at a gastronomic festival in Vitória. The bad weather also led to the suspension of masses at the Penha Convent and caused flooding in the streets of Vila Velha, in Greater Vitória.
According to the Capixaba Institute for Research, Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (Incaper), the presence of moisture coming from the ocean favored the formation of rain clouds in a large part of the state.
For Sunday (4), Incaper predicts winds from the north and northeast and predominantly open weather in the state.
The forecast indicates periods of greater cloudiness during the early hours of the morning and early morning, followed by sunshine and rising temperatures in the afternoon.
For this Saturday, there were forecasts of sunny periods, but also occasional rain in the South, in the Serrana region and in Greater Vitória.
Canceled flights
At Vitória Airport, eight flights were canceled this Saturday morning due to weather conditions, according to Zurich Airport Brasil.
The flights had as their origin or destination the airports of Guarulhos, Congonhas and Galeão. Passengers were advised to contact airlines for information and rebooking.

Show postponed
Also because of the rain, Marcelo Falcão's show, which would have been held this Saturday in Vitória, was postponed until October 17th, at 4pm.
The singer's flight took off, but was unable to land in the capital of Espírito Santo. The production reported that it tried alternatives with the airline, but was unable to make the presentation viable.
Tickets already purchased remain valid for the new date. Those who prefer a refund can request a return.
Chefs are unable to arrive at the event
At the Salt, Fire & Drive Festival, chefs Henrique Fogaça and Léo Santos also failed to reach Vitória.
Flights returned to their origin airports after the capital's airport was temporarily closed due to rain.
The organization tried to reschedule the chefs' participation, but was unable to do so due to unstable weather and other commitments.
The festival, however, continues this Saturday, Sunday (4) and Sunday (5), in the covered outdoor parking lot of Shopping Vitória. Chef Fernando Kawasaki's show class was maintained.
