Global severe weather and tropical instability
Overview
Severe weather conditions continue to impact multiple regions, including Spain, Italy, Argentina, and Costa Rica. In Spain and Italy, authorities have activated emergency protocols and suspended public services due to risks of intense thunderstorms, flooding, and hydrogeological hazards. In Spain, the municipality of Los Alcázares has called for a review of emergency protocols after rainfall levels significantly exceeded orange alerts, resulting in mud accumulation and the rescue of dozens of people.
In Central America, tropical waves and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) drive instability. In Honduras, torrential rains have previously flooded neighborhoods and streets, specifically in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. Recent forecasts from the Secretariat of Risk Management and National Contingencies (Copeco) indicate that Honduras is expected to experience scattered precipitation, isolated showers, and electrical activity across much of the country, driven by the remnants of a tropical wave combined with a trough over the western part of the nation.
In Guatemala, torrential rains in Santa María Cahabón caused strong currents and flooding, leading to the activation of disaster reduction committees. In Nicaragua, the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INETER) reports that tropical wave 40 and low-pressure systems are bringing significant rainfall to the Caribbean coasts and central regions.
In Costa Rica, the National Meteorological Institute (IMN) reports heavy downpours and thunderstorms, particularly along the central mountainous axis. Forecasts predict high morning temperatures followed by intense afternoon showers and thunderstorms that are expected to spread from mountainous areas to the Central Valley, the North Pacific, and coastal sectors of the Central and South Pacific. The ITCZ remains positioned off the coast in the Pacific Ocean, meaning local atmospheric conditions will largely dictate weather patterns.
