O It is facing a period of heavy rains, accompanied by lightning and strong winds, which have caused serious disorders in public transport. The city’s subway system is operating with irregular intervals, which has generated difficulties for users. The Civil Defense issued an alert on adverse weather conditions, which will remain in force until the dawn of Thursday. Several neighborhoods, such as Botafogo and Laranjeiras, were severely affected, with reports of flooding and tree falls. The situation is worrying, especially in areas such as Governador Island and the Center, where the rain intensity was remarkable. In Santa Teresa, even there were hail records, which is uncommon in the region.
In addition to subway problems, power supply was also impacted, resulting in oscillations that affected lines 1, 2 and 4.
