The floods in Rio Grande do Sul began on April 29, 2024 to May 2024. The severe flooding was caused by heavy rains and storms that hit the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul and adjacent Uruguayan cities.From April 29 to May, it resulted in 181 deaths (as of July 7, 2024), widespread landslides and the collapse of a dam.

Data from the Hydraulic Research Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul shows that the rains in May washed more than 14 trillion liters of water into Lake Guaíba. The excessive rainfall affected more than 60% of the state's territory.
