Riparian farmers who farm on lowlands near the Amazon River and its tributaries face high risks of loss of production in the face of flash floods during the recession period. These reversal events in the river level are known locally as repiquetes and their genesis has been little studied upstream of the Amazon River. Therefore, in this study, the repiquetes are characterized and their occurrence is determined based on intra-seasonal circulation patterns and associated meteorological mechanisms over the Marañón and Ucayali river basin. Upon As a result, it was identified 73 significant repiquetes that occurred in the Amazon River in the 1996-2018 period, 64.4% (47) have a precursor in the Marañón River, 20.5% (15) have precursors from both rivers, and although the contribution of each river varies from month by month only 5.5% (4) are exclusively associated with the Ucayali River at least as a precursor, and finally, the remaining 9.6% (7) are only registered in the Amazon River. In general, the repiquetes present a greater duration and magnitude for the months of September-October than the months of May and June, although dates close to July have the highest number of outliers. Between the eastern side of the Andes and the Amazon plain, changes from the northwest to southeast low levels winds between 5 and 3 days prior, generated by the passage of high pressure over Argentina, contribute to higher precipitation related to the occurrence of repiquetes. And although the precipitation zones have some differences according to the data set used, the precipitations that occur from the AndeanAmazon transition region and towards the plain of the Marañón basin between Peru and Ecuador turn out to be very relevant, followed by precipitation over Huánuco. Finally, a case from 2002 is analyzed as it has a high magnitude and duration in comparison with the rest of the events.
