Rainy conditions in the Caribbean and Northern Zone
April 10, 2024
9:00 am
Diagnóstico: Condiciones inestables se mantienen en el Caribe, Zona Norte y sectores marítimos del Pacífico Central y Sur. Esto debido al alto contenido de humedad en la atmósfera, así como a la posición activa de la Zona de Convergencia Intertropical sobre el país. Los montos máximos registrados rondan entre 20-35 mm en las últimas 6 horas, además se registra fuerte actividad eléctrica en sectores marítimos cercanos a las costas del Caribe Sur y también cerca de la península de Osa en el Pacífico Sur.
Pronóstico: En lo que resta de la mañana persistirá cielo mayormente nublado con lluvias dispersas de débiles a moderadas en el Caribe y Zona Norte. Montos estimados entre 10-35 mm.
Para la tarde se anticipan precipitaciones de intensidad variable incluyendo aguaceros con tormenta para el Pacífico Central y Sur, alrededores del golfo de Nicoya en el Pacífico Norte, alrededores de sectores montañosos del Valle Central y zonas montañosas del Caribe y Zona Norte. Los análisis de los modelos numéricos indican la mayor probabilidad de lluvia más fuerte para la zona de la cordillera volcánica central, así como los alrededores de Sarapiquí con montos entre 50-90 mm en 12 horas.
Advertencia: Especial atención en el Caribe y Zona Norte por el alto caudal en quebradas y ríos por las lluvias de las últimas horas, además de suelos saturados en partes montañosas como la Ruta 32.
Debido a lo anterior, el IMN recomienda:
- Precaución desbordamiento de quebradas y ríos pequeños en lugares propensos a este tipo de inundaciones.
- Prevención ante tormenta eléctrica y buscar refugio en un sitio seguro en caso de presentarse o de percibir fuertes ráfagas de viento cerca de las nubes de tormenta, debido a la posible caída de ramas de árboles, tendido eléctrico entre otros.
