Claudete Aparecida de Paula Silva cried as she faced the fourth day without electricity after a storm in Ribeirão Preto, SP Reproduction/EPTV CPFL Paulista reported that 1,249 units have remained without power in Ribeirão Preto since Friday (24), when the city was hit by a strong storm. On Sunday (26), Governor Tarcísio de Freitas said that, at the height of the storm, in the early hours of Friday in the Ribeirão Preto region, measurements from the Agronomic Institute (IAC) - the state's research center focused on agricultural development - showed that the winds reached 160 km/h.

According to CPFL, energy supply in the city and also in cities in the region is in the final phase of restoration. "At this moment, work is concentrated in Guariba, the most affected municipality, where around 3,800 customers are still in the process of being reestablished. In the other affected municipalities — Ribeirão Preto, Taquaritinga, Pradópolis and Dumont — only occasional occurrences remain, which continue to be dealt with by field teams until supply is completely regularized." Inmet analyzes what caused the storm This Monday, the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) reported that it is still analyzing in detail what caused the storm and has not ruled out the hypothesis of a microexplosion or tornado. "The highly localized nature of the event makes a detailed analysis necessary to accurately characterize the processes. The hypothesis of a microburst or tornado cannot be ruled out, but, to date, it is not possible to determine, conclusively, which atmospheric process occurred in Ribeirão Preto." According to the institute, the meteorological conditions observed in the Ribeirão Preto region were favored by the action of a trough at medium levels of the atmosphere, which promoted instability in the area. "This system, together with the heat and high availability of moisture, in addition to the approach of a cold front, provided the large-scale mechanisms necessary for the development of the storms." Also according to Inmet, the available information consists of specific records of wind speed, precipitation, atmospheric discharges and local reports, variables that indicate the occurrence of storms.
