O mapa de monitoramento meteorológico da Defesa Civil de BH, atualizado às 14h55 deste sábado, apontava concentração de precipitações de chuvas mais intensas nas regionais Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Sul da capital. As regionais Norte e Nordeste registraram chuva extremamente forte, com acumulados acima de cinco milímetros em apenas cinco minutos. Já na Centro-Sul, o temporal foi forte, com volumes entre 2,6 e 5 milímetros no mesmo intervalo.

Na regional Leste, a chuva foi moderada, com registros entre 1,1 e 2,5 milímetros, enquanto a Pampulha teve precipitação fraca, variando de 0,1 a 1,0 milímetro. As demais regiões da capital, como Noroeste, Oeste, Barreiro e Venda Nova, não registraram chuva no período monitorado.

Diante da intensidade das chuvas, a Defesa Civil emitiu alerta para risco de alagamentos, enxurradas e transtornos no trânsito, especialmente nas áreas mais atingidas. A orientação é para que motoristas evitem vias sujeitas a alagamentos e que pedestres busquem abrigo durante os períodos de tempestade.
