Its interaction with accelerated trade winds over the Caribbean Sea is creating highly unstable weather conditions across most of the national territory.

Most Affected Regions & Forecast

• Pacific Slope (North, Central, and South): Moderate to heavy downpours accompanied by thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening.
• Central Valley: Variable rain and isolated showers, with potential thunderstorm activity expected in the afternoon and early night hours.
• Northern Zone & Caribbean Coast: Intermittent rain, with intensifying downpours focused around mountainous areas.

High-Risk Zones & Soil Saturation

The IMN and emergency services advise taking extra precautions in areas prone to landslides and flash flooding due to high soil saturation levels:

• Northern Caribbean & Eastern Northern Zone (soil saturation levels between 75% and 95%).
• Coastal South Pacific & Border Regions.

Safety Recommendations

• Seek shelter immediately inside secure buildings if strong wind gusts or lightning occur.
• Exercise caution while driving due to reduced visibility and water accumulation on roads.
• Monitor nearby rivers, streams, and unstable slopes closely for potential overflow or mudslides.
• Stay updated through official alerts from the IMN and the National Emergency Commission (CNE).
