 - Published: Tuesday, January 21, 2020- New windy front to
affect Caribbean Coast and northern zone
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The Meteorological Institute warned of a new windy cold front that is expected to enter Central America today. According to the institute, this is front number #17 of the year. Its presence will increase the power and speed of the winds, especially on the Caribbean coast and the northern zone. Winds also are expected to affect the tides in the Pacific Ocean near the southern coast of Costa Rica and Panamá. This increase in the speed and power of the winds is due, in part, to the proximity of the country with the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Intertropical Convergence Zone, known by sailors as the doldrums or the calms due to the dull, windless weather, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. The zone appears as a band of clouds, usually, thunderstorms, that circles the globe near the Equator. The zone fluctuates in latitude depending on the season. According to the institute, the rains in the last hours on the Caribbean coast have decreased intensity, but it continues to rain mainly near the mountainous sectors. The accumulated rainfall has not surpassed 32 mm. The institute reports that the gusts have not increased in intensity. In the North Pacific, the winds are 50 to 70km/h, with gusts of 92 km/h in the area of La Cruz and near the mountains in Guanacaste. Due to the entry of the new windy front, the National Emergency Commission maintains a green alert in the areas of the Caribbean coast and the northern zone. According to the commission, overflows of four rivers have been reported in the area of the Caribbean coast. Also, 50 families have been evacuated from that area. They found shelters in other homes, so the commission said it has not been necessary to open shelters. Due to the current conditions, people should be alert, especially in areas of high risk due to floods, landslides, or strong wind gusts, said officials. Specialists recommend: - Be alert in vulnerable areas to flooding due to sewer saturation, increased river flow and landslides. - In case of a thunderstorm, take refuge in a safe place. - In case of strong wind gusts be alert to possible falling tree branches or electrical cables. Authorities asked the public to call 911 to report any possible flooding, falling trees or landslides. A call was also made for people to avoid any type of controlled burn because high winds could cause a small fire to become a blaze quickly. A.M. Costa Rica urges readers to share this alert with their contacts, as well as recommend tourists to increase precautionary measures if they are going to sail or take a local flight. -------------------- Have strong winds caused any emergency in your community?
