Severe weather has resulted in multiple fatalities across the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

In the Dominican Republic, heavy rains in the Elías Piña province caused strong currents in a canal or ditch to sweep away children. At least two children died, while another minor was rescued with serious injuries. 

In Nicaragua, torrential rains caused a landslide in the Siuna municipality of the North Caribbean Coast region. The landslide buried a home while the occupants were sleeping, killing four members of a single family, including two children aged 12 and 2.
