Brazil is currently experiencing the worst drought since records began – the north and mid-west of the country are particularly affected. This is according to data from the Brazilian National Center for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters (CEMADEN). The current drought began in the second half of 2023. The latest forecasts predict below-average rainfall over the next three months, further exacerbating the drought. „Droughts are getting longer and more intense,“ drought expert Ana Paula Cunha from CEMADEN told Table.Briefings, adding that the drought can be clearly attributed to climate change.
