🇧🇷 Severe Hailstorm Strikes Vacaria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
April 15, 2025

☄️A powerful hailstorm hit the city of Vacaria in southern Brazil, causing significant damage in several neighborhoods, including Kms 4 & 5, Franciosi, Glória, and others.

Strong wind gusts and large hailstones damaged rooftops, prompting emergency response teams — including the Fire Department and City Hall — to distribute tarps to help protect affected homes.

Such extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent and destructive, likely linked to global climate change, which is altering precipitation patterns and intensifying atmospheric phenomena in the region.
