Heavy rains are finally easing up in the eastern province of Cartago, but a low-pressure system has moved over the Pacific coast and Central Valley, leading the National Emergency Commission (CNE) to declare a green, preventive alert for these areas.
Residents of the Pacific coast and Central Valley should remain alert, as water levels could rise and cause flooding if rains intensify, according to a statement from the commission.
The National Meteorological Institute (IMN) is monitoring a low-pressure system currently over Belize in the Caribbean Sea, which is bringing a constant flow of humidity from the Pacific Ocean toward Costa Rica. Early yesterday morning, the system began kicking up rain in the Central Valley and Pacific.
