Meteorologists explain that the catastrophe is the result of at least three phenomena that affect the region and were worsened by climate changes. And the trend is getting worse due to the forecast of more rain.

The tragedy in the state is associated with intense wind currents, a corridor of humidity coming from the Amazon, increasing the strength of the rain, and an atmospheric blockage, due to heat waves.
