General Review

The passage of tropical wave #13 early Monday morning will maintain an unstable atmospheric environment at the beginning of the week, so isolated showers are expected this day in the national territory.

In addition, during the next few days, the presence of dust from the Sahara along with the increase in the intensity of the trade winds in the Caribbean Sea, will decrease humidity in the region, which is a characteristic condition of the canicular period that occurs in July in Central America; this implies a decrease in rainfall, mainly in the Central Valley and the North Pacific. Meanwhile, the entry of clouds from the maritime sector will leave occasional rains in the northern zone and the Caribbean, while in both the Central Pacific and the South Pacific occasional downpours are expected in the afternoons, with greater intensity from Thursday onwards.

Three tropical waves are being monitored in the Atlantic at the beginning of the week, with the closest of them (OT#14) expected to arrive on Saturday and increase the presence of rains for the weekend, and the other two waves will arrive next week.
