The National Meteorological Institute announced that a low-pressure system plus a tropical wave that entered the country on Monday will likely cause heavy rains to continue through Thursday.
Heavy rains recorded Monday morning in various regions of Costa Rica were the result of a low-pressure system, the National Meteorological Institute reported.
Heavy rains in recent days have caused flooding in some 20 communities in Costa Rica’s southern Pacific region, the National Emergency Commission (CNE) reported Wednesday. Some are stranded by road washouts while others have been left without drinking water.
Your umbrella may soon get a break: Meteorologists say Costa Rica's rainy season should begin to taper off this week, with the last drops expected to fall in early December.
The latest sinkhole to appear this year was a 6-meter wide, 11-meter deep sinkhole that opened up over the weekend on the street near the Transportes Costarricenses Panameños bus station in Plaza VÃquez. City workers started repairing the gaping hole that opened between Avenue 20 and 5th Street on Tuesday.
