                         during November (fig. 7.15). Northern and western Uruguay, Rio

                         Argentina) felt the impacts of the flooding that affected all 
                         cities along the lower basin of Rio Uruguay River. Estimates 
                         indicated that more than 5000 people were evacuated from Uruguay 
                         alone. November 2009 was the wettest November in the last 30 
                         years, since the Salto Grande dam was built (fig. 7.16). Overall, 
                         more than 350 mm of rain felt in the region between 25°S-35°S and 
                         50°W-60°W. The monthly average is 150 mm, but in some places the 
                         record exceeded 600 mm. The National Institute of Meteorology of

                         (INPE) reported that the November precipitation surpassed 400 mm 
                         at 19 meteorological stations of Rio Grande do Sul State, and 
                         average rainfall in all states was about 300 mm above normal. In 
                         Sao Luiz Gonzaga, the rainfall was 640 mm while the historical 
                         monthly average was 154 mm, a record for November since 
                         observations began in 1912.",
