The rains that hit the city of São Paulo on Monday afternoon (19) put several regions of the capital attention to floods, according to the Emergency Management Center (CGE) of the City of São Paulo.

In Osasco, in the metropolitan region, there is a possibility of hail. In Barueri, also in Greater São Paulo, floods obstruct traffic at the entrance of the city and on the Castello Branco road. According to the state Civil Defense, it rains a lot in the city and also in Itapevi.

According to the CGE, there are 4 active flood points in the capital of São Paulo. In addition to these, the concessionaire responsible for the Presidente Dutra highway reports that there is a passable flood at kilometer 230, in the capital direction, and an impassable one on Avenida Bandeirantes do Sul, a marginal road to the highway. The flood causes traffic in the region.

Until 5:28 p.m. on Monday, the capital’s firefighters received 10 calls for falling trees, in neighborhoods of the North Zone such as Santana and Casa Verde, in addition to 11 due to flooding and flooding. In Vila Maria, a tree fell on a residence at 4:30 p.m. No one was hurt.

The rain also affects the operation of EMTU in the cities of Embu das Artes, Taboão da Serra and Itapecerica da Serra, with delays of 25 minutes in the circulation of buses. Congonhas airport, in the South Zone of the capital, operates with the help of devices from 4:00 p.m. The storm also caused accidents on the main highways in the metropolitan region, which have a lot of traffic.

According to CGE meteorologists, the rain should occur with greater intensity in some points, with storms and gusts of wind, which increases the potential for the formation of floods and the fall of trees, especially between the afternoon and the night.
