Insivumeh predicts 19 cold fronts in Guatemala for the 2024-25 cold season
Even though the cyclonic season It is not over yet, since it started in May and will conclude in November, Guatemala is about to enter your cold season. According to the National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology ―Insivumeh―October is a transition month in which the country experiences the end of the rainy season in most of the country and the beginning of the cold season.
According to the Insivumeh Meteorological Research and Services Department, “the cold season generally begins in the second half of October and ends in the first half of March, although in some regions it can extend until April.” With the arrival of the cold season, the first cold fronts are expected to enter the country.
In October 2024, Guatemala will receive one of 19 cold fronts expected between October 2024 and April 2025. The Insivumeh defines a cold front as a frontal system that causes moderate to strong northerly wind patterns. This phenomenon occurs when cold air crosses the plains of the Yucatan Peninsula and, upon encountering the mountains of northern Guatemala, is forced to rise, condensing its humidity. As a result, seasonal rains are generated in the Northern, Caribbean and Northern Transverse Belt regions. In addition, the Bocacosta and the south of the West could experience isolated rains.
First cold front could appear in the second week of October
The first cold front of the season, expected for the second week of October, will mark the beginning of winter in Guatemala. This phenomenon will bring rain in the north of the country and the Caribbean, in addition to a notable drop in temperatures in the Central Highlands and the West. In these mountainous areas, the thermal sensation will be colder, which indicates the beginning of the winter season.
More than 15 cold fronts from October 2024 to April 2025
Insivumeh has predicted the arrival of 19 cold fronts during the 2024-2025 cold season. From Novemberthese systems will be more frequent, with the presence of three cold fronts in that month alone. This number exceeds the historical average, which records two cold fronts in November. These systems will bring with them a marked drop in temperatures, especially in mountainous areas, and an increase in precipitation in the Northern and Caribbean regions.
During December y Januarymonths that traditionally feature the coldest temperatures of the year, the historical average of four cold fronts per month is expected to continue. The areas most affected by low temperatures will be the Central Highlands and the West, where the possibility of frost is even expected. These intense winter conditions are characteristic of the coldest season in Guatemala.
For the months of February y March, Insivumeh predicts the arrival of three cold fronts per month, which follows the recorded historical pattern. Finally, in April 2025 The last cold front of the cycle will appear, which will mark the end of the cold season in Guatemala and the beginning of summer.
