When the rainstorm began in the Brazilian city of Pindamonhangaba on December 1st, 2024, few residents anticipated the deluge that would follow. In just 24 hours, from 7AM of that day to the same time on December 2nd, the city recorded 90 millimeters of rainfall.
For perspective, the entire month of November had registered only 121.5 millimeters – meaning a single day’s downpour in the city equaled 74% of the previous month’s total precipitation, with the levels of the Piracuama river rising rapidly while the Una river invaded the roads that connect Pindamonhangaba to the neighboring city of Taubaté.
