Listen to the story

Students taking Brazil's national Enem exam in 2026 are wondering whether rain will fall during the test. Many people are checking the weather forecast before exam day.

The Civil Defence, a public agency that protects citizens during dangerous weather, has sent 72 preventive alerts for the state of São Paulo. These alerts warn of strong rain in several areas.

The warnings come after a recent storm event. A video showed an atmospheric microburst, a short but very powerful downward wind, hitting the countryside of São Paulo. It caused damage to buildings and trees in the area.

Because of this storm, authorities are being more careful about weather conditions around the exam date. Strong rain can lead to flooding, power cuts and transport problems, which could affect students travelling to test centres.

The Civil Defence is asking residents to stay alert and follow safety advice if storms arrive. Officials say the situation is being monitored closely as Enem approaches.

Although the full forecast details were not given, the message is clear: people should prepare for possible rain and check updates regularly before the exam.
