Weather Warning
Strong gusts in the center and north of the country this Wednesday
January 15, 2025
10.50 a.m.
Diagnosis: The increase in atmospheric pressure over the Central American region and the Caribbean Sea causes an increase in the intensity of the trade wind over the center and north of the country, strong gusts have been recorded that have reached values between 65-95 km/h in places such as Liberia, Irazú volcano, Cerro Buenavista and Santa Ana, to name a few. As well as variable rains in the Caribbean, Northern Zone and the GAM, with accumulations between 30 to 50 mm.
Forecast: Throughout today and tomorrow, very windy conditions are expected to continue in the center and north of the country. Maximum gusts are expected to be in the range of 50-75 km/h for the Central Valley and lower parts of Guanacaste, as well as values between 75-100 km/h for northern Guanacaste and the Talamanca mountain ranges. As for rainfall, a decrease in precipitation is expected in the evening. However, scattered showers may occur at the end of the afternoon in the South Pacific, as well as occasional rain in coastal areas at the beginning of the night in the Central Pacific.
Warning: Pay special attention to gusts of wind in the mountainous areas and in the north of the North Pacific and in the Central Valley.
Due to the above, the IMN recommends: • Prevention against gusts of wind and their possible damage to roofs, electrical wiring, signs, trees; as well as in the mountainous parts of the country and Guanacaste (national parks, volcanoes). • Caution in air navigation due to increased turbulence, as well as in maritime navigation due to increased rough seas, especially in the North Pacific, Gulf of Nicoya and northern Central Pacific. • Avoid fires of any kind, as they can get out of control. • Stay informed through social networks, Twitter: @IMNCR, Facebook: Instituto Meteorológico Nacional CR and the WEB page: www.imn.ac.cr
