Horror floods have arrived only short time after similarly horrifying floods in Sao Paulo or Uberlandia /https://mkweather.com/2020/11/29/total-devastation-terrifying-videos-from-floods-in-sao-paolo-brazil/; https://mkweather.com/2020/12/14/next-horror-floods-in-brazil-uberlandia//, and too, after series of storms in Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia /https://mkweather.com/2020/12/19/severe-storms-hit-argentina-uruguay-and-southern-brazil-santa-katarina-with-21-dead-or-missing/; https://mkweather.com/2020/12/23/horrifying-sandstorm-in-argentina-video-and-twitter-galleries/; https://mkweather.com/2020/12/19/extreme-storms-hit-yacuiba-bolivia//.
16-day forecast for Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro regions are bad, with additional heavy rains and next possible devastating floods. Extreme rainfall is expected too in all Amazonia, including Peru or Bolivia, and too in northern Argentina or southern Colombia.
