Severe storms trigger emergency alerts in Honduras and Mexico
Severe weather conditions have triggered emergency responses in Mexico and Honduras. In Chihuahua, Mexico, heavy rainfall and storms have caused significant disruption, particularly in Ciudad Juárez. Authorities reported over 160 weather-related incidents in the region, including flooding, fallen trees, and electrical issues. In Ciudad Juárez, a single storm event potentially delivered up to 60 millimeters of rain, which experts estimate is approximately one-quarter of the city's annual average. Consequently, educational authorities suspended in-person classes in Ciudad Juárez, Guadalupe, and Práxedis G. Guerrero to ensure student safety.
In Honduras, the national contingency agency, Copeco, has expanded a Green Alert to ten departments, including Lempira, Comayagua, and Cortés, due to persistent unstable atmospheric conditions. The alert, which remains in effect for 36 hours, warns of potential flooding, landslides, and rising river levels caused by moisture from the Caribbean and Pacific oceans.
