In late October 2026, El Salvador experienced shifting weather patterns influenced by northern winds. Initially, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) forecasted scattered rainfall, particularly in the eastern sectors, coastal areas, and the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, while maintaining warm temperatures in several regions.

Following this period, the country saw a significant temperature drop. The Puente Cuscatlán meteorological station in San Vicente recorded a historic minimum temperature of 14.6°C, surpassing the previous record of 17.0°C set in 1982. MARN attributed these low temperatures and increased wind gusts to the influence of northern winds during a seasonal transition between the rainy and dry seasons.
