The Intertropical Convergence Zone is expected to bring heavy rain to the Northern regions as well. This could lead to significant weather impacts.
Regional Rain Forecast: Which Areas Will Be Affected?
Rainfall patterns this week will vary significantly across Brazil. Here’s a breakdown of expected conditions:
- Northern Brazil: States like Amazonas, Pará, and Acre will see heavy rain, particularly in the Ilha de Marajó area.

Impact of the Intertropical Convergence Zone on Rainfall
The Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ZCIT, plays a crucial role in Brazil’s weather patterns. It brings moisture-laden winds that can lead to heavy rain in specific regions. This week, areas affected by the ZCIT will likely experience extreme weather conditions, including potential flooding. Understanding this phenomenon can help residents prepare for the impacts of heavy rainfall.
