- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
A cold front arrived in São Paulo on Friday night, bringing rain, falling temperatures, and strong winds to the capital and surrounding state on Saturday, September 5. The city experienced a morning of heavy cloud cover and rain, with temperatures reaching a minimum of approximately 15 degrees Celsius and a predicted maximum of 22 degrees Celsius. In some areas, the cloud cover was so dense that it created a nighttime appearance during the day.
The state Civil Defense and the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) issued alerts for potential storms, including risks of flooding, landslides, and wind gusts exceeding 40 km/h. These conditions are expected to persist throughout the weekend as the front moves across the coast.
Traffic was heavily impacted on the eve of the September 7 holiday. The Companhia de Engenharia de Tráfego (CET) reported slowness across all regions of the city, with the most significant delays occurring in the south zone. Additionally, heavy vehicle volume caused slow traffic on the Ayrton Senna, Imigrantes, and Castello Branco highways, while fog led to convoy operations on the Anchieta highway.
