Heavy rains, winds through November

Heavy rains are expected to continue through November, but weather forecasters are expecting the dry season to begin mid-December.

The rainfall in November, however, is also expected to be lighter than those in October, one of the wettest months of the year reports La Prensa.

University of Panama Professor César Osorio said the rainfall in November will be steadier than that in October, which was marked by violent storms.

According to the expert, the dry season will start in mid-December. However, there will also be some storms as the seasons transition from rainy to dry.

Residents are being asked to pay special attention to severe weather reports, as storms will often be accompanied by high winds, which add a level of danger due to the higher incidents of falling trees, landslides and more dangerous tides and sea conditions.
