Employees of the Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), an urban cleaning company in Rio de Janeiro, are working this Monday (6) to remove sand from Avenida Delfim Moreira, on the beach in the Leblon neighborhood, brought by the surf that hit the capital of Rio de Janeiro.
Mayor Eduardo Paes (PSD) asked drivers to look for alternative routes while Comlurb teams clean the road. The leisure area is also closed for cleaning.
On Sunday, the effects of a cyclone that was offshore shook the coast and caused a storm surge that caused sea water to advance over the coast and Avenida Delfim Moreira.
On social media, images of bathers enjoying the beach went viral. The phenomenon scared even those who were on the sidewalk and bike path.
Firefighters search for teenager who disappeared at sea
This Monday, the Fire Department resumed the search for the 16-year-old teenager who disappeared in the sea off Ipanema beach, a neighborhood neighboring Leblon. He was taking part in a trip to the coast of Rio.
Part of the coast of the Southeast region of Brazil is, this Monday, under a hangover warning issued by the Navy Hydrography Center. Waves of up to 3.5 meters are expected between the cities of Ilha Comprida, in São Paulo, and São João da Barra, in Rio de Janeiro.
São Paulo was also the target of the effects of the extratropical cyclone. More than two million people were left without electricity in the state after the passage of the cold front caused by the phenomenon. Winds of more than 100 km/h caused 270 trees to fall and left more than 500 traffic lights out.
This Monday, the forecast is for a sunny day without rain in almost the entire Southeast region, according to Climatempo. It may rain in isolated areas of the state of Minas Gerais.
