Weather Report N 7

Intermittent evening rainfall in the Pacific and North Zone.

May 31, 2020

8:00 a.m.

Diagnosis: A tropical storm (Amanda) in the Pacific Ocean over Guatemala and El Salvador, has been generating atmospheric instability in recent hours over all of Central America, with intermittent rainfall throughout the country. In the last 12 hours, there have only been rains in some sectors of the North Pacific.


At 7 am, the maximum accumulated values recorded (in the last 24 hours) by region are:

 

Región	Rango de acumulados máximos (en milímetros)
Valle Central	0-28 mm
Caribe Norte	5-27 mm (59 en Caño Negro)
Caribe Sur	5-20 mm
Pacífico sur	15-77 mm
Pacífico Central	20-59 mm
Pacífico Norte	20-65 mm
Zona Norte	20-44 mm

 

Forecast: Tropical storm Amanda is heading towards northern Guatemala and southern Mexico and favors the positioning of the Intertropical Convergence Zone in northern Central America. This will generate that from noon the country does not have any type of influence of said system.

During the afternoon, the high humidity contents that will be had, as well as the present atmospheric instability and the high temperatures will favor the evening rainy conditions throughout the Pacific, mountainous areas of the Central Cordillera, the Caribbean and the North Zone, and to a lesser extent in the Central Valley. Accumulated amounts of rain are expected between 5-25 mm in the Central Valley, between 15-60 mm in the Central and South Pacific, between 20-70 mm in the North Zone, North Pacific and Caribbean mountains.

During the night the rainy conditions will continue intermittently much weaker than during the afternoon. Accumulated amounts of rain are expected between 5-10 mm in the Central Valley and Caribbean mountains, between 5-20 mm in the Central and South Pacific, between 20-30 mm in the North and North Pacific zones.

During the night the rainy conditions will continue intermittently, but to a lesser extent than during the afternoon. Accumulated amounts of rain are expected between 1-10 mm in the Central Valley and the Caribbean mountains, between 5-20 mm in the Central and South Pacific, between 10-30 mm in the North Zone and North Pacific.

Due to the above, the IMN recommends:


    Caution in areas vulnerable to flooding due to sewerage saturation, increased flow in rivers and streams, as well as sectors prone to landslides.
    Prevention on national routes, some of them are: route 1, route 10, route 27, route 21, route 32, route 34, route 141 and route 126.
    Take refuge in a safe place in case of listening to a thunderstorm or perceiving strong gusts of wind near storm clouds, as well as caution for possible falling tree branches, power lines, among others.
    Stay alert to the possibility of landslides due to saturation of the soils in the South Pacific and mountains of the North Zone.
