Diagnosis: High atmospheric pressure values ??over the Caribbean Sea keep accelerated winds over the region. So far this day there have been gusts in the range of 40-60 km / h in the lower parts of Guanacaste and the Central Valley and between 60-90 km / h in the mountainous areas and northern Guanacaste. Forecast: For the remainder of this Monday, strong gusts will continue with ranges estimated between 40-55 km / h in the Central Valley and between 50-70 km / h in the lower parts of Guanacaste. In mountainous areas these can reach between 80-100 km / h. On the other hand, due to the entry of cloudiness from the Caribbean Sea, isolated rains and drizzles are possible during the afternoon and evening in the Caribbean regions and the North Zone. Significant rainfall is not expected for the rest of the country. Due to the above, the IMN recommends: • Extreme precautions due to strong winds and their possible impact on roofs, electrical wiring, signs, trees; as well as in the mountainous parts of the country (national parks, volcanoes). • Caution for boats by choppy sea and very strong waves in the North Pacific, Gulf of Nicoya, Central Pacific and the Caribbean Sea, as well as air navigation due to turbulence over the mountainous sectors. • Avoid burning of all kinds as they can get out of control. • Stay informed through social networks, Twitter: @IMNCR, Facebook: CR National Meteorological Institute and the Website: www.imn.ac.cr Roberto Vindas Meteorologist DMSA-IMN
