Weather Experts Predict No Dry Season This Year Due To La Niña
Intense and moderate rains during the months of December and January was the weather forecast for Panama and Central American countries presented at the Climate Forum held in Mexico. According to the forecast, the rains during the next two months will have values above normal. Showers of long and short term will remain in the areas located on the Pacific slope, said the report. The study reveals that even in the month of February, which generally corresponds to the dry season, rainfall will occur intermittently. The Phenomenon of La Niña and the passage of cold fronts will cause the dry season to come two months late, concluded experts meeting in Mexico.
PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TODAY - Rainfall that remained yesterday in much of the day will continue today intermittently. Jesus Salazar, Department of Synoptic Meteorology of the Electricity Transmission Company (ETESA), explained that these rains are caused by a cold front passing through the Caribbean coast. He added that in the capital city rainfall will be moderate to intense, while in the Eastern part of the province of Panama it will be lighter. In the province of Bocas del Toro and along the "Upper Coast" of Colon there will be strong rains. In recent days, the rains that have fallen on Panama City and the rest of the country have caused floods in western Panama, Panama East and in the province of Colon, as well as landslides and damages to homes, with many victims.
