It noted records in parts of the South region, while some other areas had totals near climatological norms. In the North region, monthly rainfall exceeded 100 millimetres in areas between Acre and southern Amazonas. INMET also reviewed areas that recorded above-average temperatures. The release summarizes observations for the past month; it is not a new forecast or proof that El Niño alone caused the conditions. ## Data ### September 2026: rainfall topped 100 mm in some northern areas INMET reported monthly rainfall totals above 100 mm in some areas between Acre and southern Amazonas. Methodology: 100 mm is recorded as a lower bound for some areas between Acre and southern Amazonas; it is not a national Brazil total. The reference period is September 2026. | label | value | unit | period | basis | value_qualifier | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | September rainfall total in some northern areas | 100 | millimetres | 2026-09 | observed | lower-bound | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/inmet-september-2026-rainfall-contrasts-across-brazil/data/source-reported-metrics?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/inmet-september-2026-rainfall-contrasts-across-brazil/data/source-reported-metrics?lang=en&format=csv) ## Sources - [Brazil National Institute of Meteorology (INMET)]() (Source checked: 2026-10-11; Published: 2026-10-09) --- Cite the canonical URL above.
