San Salvador. The Ministry of the Environment updated the data on Tropical Storm Pilar, pointing out that it has winds of 85 km/h and is located 285 km southwest of the Salvadoran coast.
According to specialists from international meteorological bodies, the phenomenon is moving towards the east-northeast at 6 km/h; The movement of cloudiness from the Pacific Ocean will continue, favoring moderate to strong rains and storms with emphasis on the eastern zone and some sectors of the central zone, until the early hours of Wednesday, November 1.
The trajectory forecast continues to indicate the approach of Pilar towards the coast of El Salvador, creating a turn towards the east-southeast without making landfall during Tuesday, and moving away towards the Pacific since early Wednesday morning. However, it will maintain its influence over El Salvador during this Tuesday, all day and night.
For this reason, the authorities have asked residents and visitors to the beaches for caution, due to accelerated wind that increases the height and frequency of waves at sea and increases the height of the average sea level on the coastline; In addition, it could increase flooding in the upper part of the beaches where there are temporary or permanent homes.
The gusts of wind in some areas of the country could also increase the possibility of falling trees and billboards, among others, as well as urban flooding and river overflows, putting people living near slopes at risk.
