In February 2026, floods and landslides caused by extreme precipitation events occurred in the Zona da Mata region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, leaving 73 people dead. The disaster is the deadliest of its type in the country since the Rio Grande do Sul floods in 2024. The region had already experienced above-average rainfall in the preceding weeks, and further episodes of extreme precipitation followed in the days thereafter. February 2026 became the wettest month ever recorded in Juiz de Fora, with total rainfall exceeding the monthly average by four times, according to the Brazilian National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). The floods and landslides left entire neighbourhoods cut off, displaced more than 5,500 residents, and left hundreds homeless.
