Temporal com ventos fortes causa estragos em Teresina após 40 dias de seca

Trees were downed across the city causing infrastructure damage, though no specific casualties or injuries were reported.

The collision of accumulated heat and northward humidity from Maranhão created the conditions for convection, and what had been withheld for weeks arrived all at once, toppling trees and disrupting the infrastructure of a city that had grown accustomed to stillness. The relief, though real, was uneven: modest rainfall in the capital, dry skies persisting to the south
