Weather forecast in Guatemala for the weekend of September 28 and 29, 2024
He National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology —Insivumeh— ha predicted that the weekend of September 28 and 29 will be marked by the influence of low pressure on Guatemala. This will generate cloudy weather that will alternate with periods of clear skies, as well as drizzle and rains accompanied by electrical activitymainly in the afternoons and evenings.
A relevant factor in the climate is the proximity of the monsoon trough to Guatemalan territory. This meteorological phenomenon has facilitated the entry of abundant humidity and cloudiness into the country. The monsoon trough, which forms when an area of low pressure develops near the equator, generates intense, prolonged rain that can cause flooding or severe storms.
The highest rainfall accumulations are expected in the Western, Bocacosta, Central Altiplano and Northern Transversal Belt regions. Rainy conditions are forecast to continue into next week.
Maximum temperatures by region
- Central Plateau: Capital City will have maximum temperatures between 26°C and 28°C, while in the Central and Western Highlands a range of 23°C to 28°C is expected.
- Pacific regions: Maximum temperatures of 33°C to 35°C will occur.
- Northern Region: Warm weather is expected, with temperatures ranging between 34°C and 36°C.
- Alta Verapaz, Caribbean and Northern Transversal Strip: Alta Verapaz will have maximum temperatures between 26°C and 28°C, while in the Caribbean temperatures of 33°C to 35°C are expected.
- Motagua Region and Eastern Valleys: Maximum temperatures will be between 33°C and 35°C
Cyclonic activity in the Atlantic and Pacific
Since May, Insivumeh reported that the Atlantic hurricane season would be more active in 2024, with a total of ten systems that have developed from May to September. Currently, three systems are active in the Atlantic Ocean, with one more under observation. Tropical Depression Helene, which made landfall in the United States, does not represent any danger to Guatemala. Likewise, Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joyce have no impact on Guatemalan territory.
On the other hand, in the Pacific Ocean, there is Tropical Storm John, which does not represent a direct threat to the country due to its remoteness.
Recommendations for the population
Given the forecast of rain and the saturation of the soil, the Insivumeh warns about the risk of river flooding, floods, landslides, landslides and lahars in volcanic areas. These phenomena can also cause damage to the road network, so the population is recommended to take precautions and stay informed through official media.
