During this first semester of 2023, when the first dry season of 2023 begins, there will be sunny mornings and afternoons with cyclonic rains, reported the CVC Hydroclimatology Network.
In addition, the entity reported that although the La Niña phenomenon has not gone away, it has entered its weakening phase.
Óscar Ramírez Benjumea, a specialized professional from the CVC’s Environmental Technical Directorate, reported that the mornings will be hot these days and the afternoons will be heavy rains, electrical storms and intense winds in Valle del Cauca.
The official said that “we can have convective or cyclonic rainfall, that is, very intense. They can start with hot mornings, but if the pressure, humidity and temperature conditions are present, it is very likely that heavy rains will occur in the afternoon, with many winds and electrical storms.
Although this is the first driest season of the year, he recommended not lowering our guard in prevention systems because the influence of La Niña continues. “We must not expose ourselves to threats identified in rivers and slopes, landslides, floods and torrential avenues,” said Ramírez.
