Rio de Janeiro
Gusty storm brings down Christmas display

A deadly storm event brought down a Christmas display near Rio de Janeiro on Monday, December 16, 2024.

Although the storm, 22 miles from Rio de Janeiro, was warned and the display builders were evacuating, the gusty winds kicked up quickly, toppling the 184-foot-tall Christmas tree. Unfortunately, one person died when the tree fell and two others were injured.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
