Brace yourselves, folks! 🌧️ Mexico and Central America are gearing up for some serious rainfall that's set to drench the region by the end of the week.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), \"Rainfall of up to 75 centimeters is expected by the end of the week, according to forecasts.\" 😱
This torrential downpour is due to a broad area of low pressure currently chilling over northern Central America and southern Mexico, known as a Central American Gyre. It's like Mother Nature turned on the giant sprinkler system! 🌪️
Sadly, the extreme wet weather has already claimed at least 20 lives due to flooding and landslides that hit from Saturday to Monday. Our hearts go out to the affected communities. ❤️
OCHA is on standby, ready to support the people of Central America and Mexico. They're in close contact with the governments and are prepared to provide further guidance and support.
Stay safe, everyone! If you're in the area, keep an eye on weather updates and follow local safety instructions. Let's hope for clearer skies ahead! ☀️
