SAO PAULO: The death toll from heavy rains that devastated Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state rose to 31 on Wednesday , local authorities said, as an extratropical cyclone batters the region, flooding homes and swelling rivers.
The floods in Rio Grande do Sul were the latest in a series of such disasters to have recently struck Brazil, where more than 50 people were killed in Sao Paulo state earlier this year after massive downpours caused landslides and flooding. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday he had spoken to Rio Grande do Sul Governor Eduardo Leite to offer the federal government's full support for the state to"face this crisis."
Weather forecaster Climatempo said that even though showers had stopped on Tuesday, they were expected to return to Rio Grande do Sul on Wednesday and Thursday before dissipating by Sunday, with the state still on alert for floods.
