Monday’s alert reads as follows:
The CNE declares a Yellow Alert for the Pacific Slope and the Central Valley, and a Green Alert for the North Zone and the Caribbean, since heavy rains are expected in the afternoon of this Monday and tomorrow Tuesday.
This condition is due, according to the National Meteorological Institute, to the proximity of the Intertropical Convergence Zone in Costa Rica, which generates atmospheric instability and provides abundant humidity from the Pacific Ocean to the country. Additionally, unstable conditions will also be favored by the weak trade winds, as well as the daytime warming.
