The rains are expected to continue in several regions of Piauí until this Friday (30), according to the Secretariat of Environment and Water Resources (Semarh). Rainfall has been recorded in the state since Monday (26).

According to the Extreme Climate Events Monitoring and Forecasting Room (Sampece), new rain is expected this Friday (30), mainly in the territories Entre Rios and Vale dos Rios Piauí and Itaueiras. Among the municipalities that may be affected are Teresina, Regeneração, Floriano and Francisco Ayres.

According to Sampece, the highest volume of rain recorded on Wednesday (28) was 45.8 millimeters, at a station of the National Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA), in Teresina.

The monitoring stations also recorded rain in municipalities such as Tanque do Piauí, Palmeirais, Cristino Castro, Santa Filomena and Piripiri.

According to Semarh climatologist, Pedro Aderaldo, the rains are caused by a combination of atmospheric factors.

"In the north and central north, there are conditions favorable to the formation of instabilities, with the possibility of a High Level Cyclonic Vortex acting. In the southwest and southeast, the rains are associated with humidity coming from the Amazon and the influence of frontal systems that advance over Bahia", he explains.
