Guatemala Braces for Heavy Rains as East Wave Approaches
Heavy Rains Predicted for Guatemala Due to East Wave Guatemala City – The National Institute of Seismology, Vulcanology, Meteorology, and Hydrology (Insivumeh) has issued a warning of increased rainfall across Guatemala, beginning this week and potentially lasting for several days. The forecast attributes the increased precipitation to the arrival of a new East Wave. "We are under the influence of a strong low-pressure system," explained a meteorologist from Insivumeh in a recent video report. "This is manifesting in two zones, one in the Pacific area and another near the Gulf of Mexico, causing considerable instability across the country." The institute predicts particularly heavy rainfall in the southern regions, Boca Costa, and the central highlands. Insivumeh also warns of strong winds and the potential for landslides, mudslides, and flash floods. The meteorologist added that by Wednesday and Thursday, the heaviest rainfall is expected to concentrate in the northern transversal strip, the Caribbean, and southern Petén. While the rains will affect the entire country, Insivumeh urges residents to take precautions, especially given already saturated soil conditions. The forecast also highlights the possibility of the low-pressure systems developing into tropical cyclones. Insivumeh's detailed forecast and the meteorologist's direct quotes provide crucial information to help Guatemalans prepare for the anticipated heavy rainfall. This timely warning is vital for mitigating potential risks and ensuring public safety.
