Although the cold is already beginning to be felt in several regions of the country, the entry of humidity and the passage of an Eastern wave could cause the rains to continue occurring during the afternoon and evening. Here we tell you more about weather forecast in Guatemala for the weekend of October 12 and 13, 2024!
Weather in Guatemala for the weekend of October 12 and 13, 2024
In it bulletin about the weather conditions in Guatemala for the weekend of October 12 and 13, 2024he National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology ―Insivumeh― indicates that a weak influence of high pressure is expected in Guatemalan territory, which could generate stable conditions, with clear skies, good weather and less precipitation.
In addition, the entry of humidity from both coasts will generate few clouds alternating with partial cloudiness. The following days are also expected to be sunny with drizzle or scattered rain with electrical activity, this during the afternoon and evening hours, a pattern that has prevailed in recent weeks.
The precipitation in the coming days is associated both with the humidity that enters from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and with the approach of an Eastern wave on Sunday. According to Insivumeh, an increase in the probability of rain is expected next week, based on the analyzes carried out and the output of meteorological models.
Is there any cyclone that could affect Guatemala?
In an update on Friday, October 11, the National Hurricane Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported the presence of Tropical Storm Leslie in the Atlantic Ocean. However, this storm is far from Guatemalan territory and does not represent a danger on land for any country.
In the case of the Pacific Ocean, the development of any potential tropical cyclone is currently not observed.
When will the rainy season end?
According to Insivumeh, October marks a reduction in precipitation from the south to the center of the country. Starting on the 20th of this month, rains could be less frequent in the Western, Central Altiplano, Eastern Valleys, Pacific and Bocacosta regions.
However, in the Northern, Northern Transverse Belt and Caribbean regions, rains could extend due to the approach of mid-latitude systems, such as cold fronts. These fronts, when interacting with areas of low pressure, could generate intense precipitation, increasing the risk of flooding in certain areas.
The Insivumeh also anticipates that during the first 15 days of November there could still be some rainfall. This is due to the influence of low pressure systems or tropical cyclones, since November is the last month of the cyclone season, which began in May.
Areas of greatest impact
Various regions of Guatemala will be more exposed to possible effects from the rains during the weekend. The departments of Izabal, Guatemala, Santa Rosa, Sacatepéquez, Escuintla, Chimaltenango, Huehuetenango, Quiché, Alta Verapaz and Petén present a moderate risk of an increase in river levels, which could cause flooding.
On the other hand, San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Totonicapán, Sololá, Suchitepéquez, Huehuetenango and Alta Verapaz should be on alert for possible landslides, landslides, landslides or mud flows. Additionally, the Fuego volcano and the Santiaguito volcano dome complex could experience weak to moderate lahar descent in its ravines and nearby river beds.
