Abstract
In the year 2023, the Earth experienced the highest near‐surface temperature anomalies ever recorded until then. In addition, several extreme weather and climate events occurred around the world, including in Brazil. In this context, the primary objective of this study is to analyze the anomalous temperature and precipitation patterns observed in Brazil during 2023, along with the most significant extreme events. Different datasets and methodologies were applied. The north coast of the state of São Paulo had the highest accumulation of rainfall recorded in Brazil in a single day. September, October, and November 2023 experienced the large precipitation deficits over the Amazon region, leading to a very intense and prolonged drought. The south of Brazil was affected by a large amount of precipitation in a short time, associated with cyclones, resulting in fatalities and economic losses. Southeast and Central‐West Brazil experienced two intense heatwaves in the austral spring, breaking daily temperature records in major cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Overall, this study describes the main physical processes responsible for these extremes, along with the socioenvironmental impacts caused by most of them.
期刊介绍:
Published on behalf of the New York Academy of Sciences, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences provides multidisciplinary perspectives on research of current scientific interest with far-reaching implications for the wider scientific community and society at large. Each special issue assembles the best thinking of key contributors to a field of investigation at a time when emerging developments offer the promise of new insight. Individually themed, Annals special issues stimulate new ways to think about science by providing a neutral forum for discourse—within and across many institutions and fields.
