  • Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment
    The MFEWS Central America Weather Hazards and Benefits Assessment For May 22 – May 28, 2008 1) Many localized areas of the Limon and Heredia provinces of Costa Rica, as well as the San Juan and Atlantic departments of Nicaragua are experiencing a 3-4 dekad late start to the Primera rains. In addition to a below-normal Apante season, the current lack of rainfall has affected April bean harvests, as well as emerging rice and maize crops. Hazards Assessment Text Explanation: Large scale ridging and dry air transport have resulted in the suppression of significant rainfall for much of Central America in the last seven days. The heaviest rainfall totals during the last observation period remained along the Pacific side of Central America, with totals ranging from 30 – 50 mm in the southern highlands of Guatemala and coastal areas near the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. In El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, little to no rainfall accumulation in the last week has resulted in a continued delayed start of the Primera season in many areas, as precipitation totals have continued to drop further below normal. The Limon and Heredia provinces of Costa Rica, as well as, the Atlantic departments of Nicaragua near the San Juan River, have experienced the worst of the dryness as decreased soil water along the Costa Rica / Nicaragua border may impede the development of bean, rice, and sorghum crops over the next several weeks. Soil moisture deficits have also been felt in localized areas of the Chiriqui province in Panama due to the weak Primera rains.

  • Climate Prediction Center's Central America Hazards Outlook For
    Climate Prediction Center’s Central America Hazards Outlook For USAID / FEWS-NET August 25 – August 31, 2011 . The passage of Tropical Storm HARVEY has brought heavy rains along the Atlantic coastlines of northern Central America during the past week. 1) Average to below-average rainfall during the past several weeks has sustained dryness in central Honduras and northern Nicaragua. The reduction of rains has strengthened deficits and negatively impacted cropping conditions in the region. 2) Tropical Storm HARVEY has brought above-average rains in the Atlántida, Yoro, and Cortes departments of Honduras. Additional abundant rain could potentially trigger landslides and flooding in localized areas. Tropical Storm HARVEY has brought heavy rains across northern Central America during the past week. The development of Tropical Storm HARVEY and its movement across the Caribbean have brought heavy (> 50mm) rains along the Atlantic coastlines of Central America, with the heaviest (> 100mm) rainfall observed over the Islas da la Bahia, Atlántida, Colon, and Gracias A Dios departments of Honduras, Belize, and Petén department of Guatemala during the past week. Because of the movement of Tropical Storm HARVEY that was mainly off-shore, much of the inland of Central America received light (< 20mm) rains during the past week. However, the Pacific Basin of Central America has continued to receive seasonal heavy rainfall. Heavy rains were observed throughout southern Guatemala, El Salvador, western Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama during the past week. Tropical Storm HARVEY has resulted in moisture surpluses and additional heavy rains could trigger flash flooding and landslides in many local areas. Rainfall forecasts during the next week suggest the return of seasonal rainfall across much of Central America, with downpours (> 150mm) forecast in southern Guatemala.

  • The USAID MFEWS Weather Hazards Impacts Assessment for Central America July 1 – July 7, 2010
    The USAID MFEWS Weather Hazards Impacts Assessment for Central America July 1 – July 7, 2010 The passage of Tropical Storm Alex has produced significant amounts of precipitation over the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, and coastal Central America. This has resulted in flooding, landslides and damages to infrastructure in coastal parts of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. 1). The intensification from a tropical wave to Tropical Storm Alex in the Gulf of Honduras triggered landslides and flooding across many northern departments of Honduras, coastal El Salvador, as well as parts of southern Guatemala. Tropical Storm Alex produces above-average amounts of rainfall, leading to flooding and landslides. During the last observation period, a tropical low in the Caribbean developed into the first Tropical Storm in the Atlantic Hurricane season. Tropical Storm Alex passed over the Gulf of Honduras, bringing increased winds and moisture into many parts of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico. Weekly precipitation amounts ranged between 50-100 mm for many of these areas, with locally higher amounts exceeding 150mm in parts of Honduras, and northern and southern Guatemala. In Guatemala, the rapid onset of precipitation has led to river catchment flooding, landslides, and damages to infrastructure and crops in the departments of Sololá, Quetzaltenango, Escuintla, Retalhuleu, and Suchitepéquez. In El Salvador, increased winds and moisture from the Pacific brought localized floods in the departments of La Libertad, La Paz, La Union, San Miguel, Usulután, Santa Ana, Sonsonate, Ahuachapán, and San Salvador. In Honduras, floods and landslides were also reported along the northern coast mainly affecting the departments of Atlántida, Colon, Cortes, Gracias a Dios, and Yoro.
