In its meteorological bulletin, Insivumeh detailed what the weather conditions will be in Guatemala from Monday, July 27 to Friday, July 31.
During this week, areas with fog are expected in the early hours of the morning and during the night, as well as a warm and humid environment during the day.
In addition, rain accompanied by electrical activity is expected during the afternoon and night in the southern to central regions of the national territory.
The rains expected for this week are associated with local conditions due to the entry of humidity from both coastlines, the passage or approach of waves from the east and the instability in the Pacific of the Central American region, according to Insivumeh.
The precipitation expected for this week may favor river flooding, floods and lahars in the volcanic chain.
