In Uruguay, officials in Durazno reported infrastructure and social concerns, including damage to utility wiring caused by heavy truck traffic and families living in tents near a new bridge. Land ownership disputes were also noted in Santa Bernardina.

Simultaneously, heavy rains in Colombia’s Cundinamarca department caused significant flooding and drainage collapses. These weather events resulted in the death of a 72-year-old woman in Fusagasugá and caused property damage and fallen trees in several neighborhoods, including Cajicá, Gachancipá, and Sopó.
