Brazil's North Coast, specifically the cities of Bertioga, São Sebastião, Ilhabela, Ubatuba, and Caraguatatuba, experienced the highest recorded rainfall in the country's history. According to the National Center for Disaster Monitoring Prediction (Cemaden), 682 mm of rain fell in Bertioga in 24 hours, while São Sebastião recorded 626 mm of rainfall. Other cities also experienced heavy rainfall, with Ilhabela recording 337 mm, Ubatuba recording 335 mm, and Caraguatatuba recording 234 mm.

The rainfall resulted in floods and landslides, which led to a catastrophic situation on the North Coast, with Governor Tarcísio de Freitas describing it as one of the worst incidents of flooding and landslides in the state. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and a delegation of ministers and technicians from the Federal Government visited the affected areas on 20 February and held meetings with local and state authorities. President Lula stressed the need to help the most vulnerable people, especially those who lost their homes, and the importance of rebuilding housing on safer ground to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future.

It's worth noting that the previous highest recorded rainfall in Brazil was in 2022 when Petrópolis in Rio de Janeiro state recorded 530 mm of rain in 24 hours.
