Weather Warning
Decrease in the indirect influence of Hurricane Beryl and Tropical Wave #17
July 5, 2024
9.20 am
Diagnosis: Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Yucatan this Friday as a Category 2 hurricane. It will weaken as it continues to cross the Yucatan Peninsula and then enter the Gulf of Mexico. It maintains maximum sustained winds of 140 km/h, being a Category 1 hurricane.
Beryl continues to generate indirect influence in Costa Rica by placing the Intertropical Convergence Zone over the country, however, this situation continues to gradually decrease this Friday.
Forecast: For this afternoon, showers with thunderstorms are expected along the mountain ranges of the national territory, mainly in the Guanacaste Mountain Range, the Central Volcanic Mountain Range and towards the Braulio Carrillo sector; with estimated amounts between 30 mm and 50 mm with maximums of more than 60 mm in the Northern Zone and mountains of the Caribbean. Meanwhile, in the lower parts of the Northern Pacific and the Central Valley, amounts between 10 mm and 40 mm are expected with maximums of 50 mm. During the night, variable rains are expected in the Northern Pacific and mountain ranges of Guanacaste and Tilarán, with estimated amounts between 10 mm and 30 mm with maximums of 50 mm.
In addition, tropical wave #17 is passing through the center of the Caribbean Sea and Colombia this Friday, continues to advance westward and is expected to approach our country during the night of Saturday, which could generate rainy conditions or nighttime rain events in the national territory.
Warning: The rains that may occur in urban areas may cause flash flooding and sewer saturation due to the high saturation in the GAM, in the Pacific in general and the plains of the Northern Zone/Caribbean. In addition, be alert for landslides in the mountains of the Northern Zone and the Caribbean.
Due to the above, the IMN recommends: • Caution due to sewer saturation in places prone to this type of flooding. • Prevention against electrical storms and seek shelter in a safe place in case of strong gusts of wind near storm clouds, due to the possible fall of tree branches, power lines, among others. These gusts can reach 80 km/h in some isolated cases. • Stay informed through social networks, Twitter: @IMNCR, Facebook: Instituto Meteorológico Nacional CR and the WEB Page: www.imn.ac.cr
