Brazil: the south-east under the flood, at least twelve dead. The storm comes after a heatwave in the region, where a felt temperature of 62.3ºC was recorded on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro.

In Petropolis, where four people died in the collapse of a house and a small building, an AFP team assisted this Saturday morning in the rescue of a little girl who had been buried for sixteen hours under the rubble. Strong gusts of wind and intense rainfall also hit the coastline near Sao Paulo, where two children were injured.
