Colombia’s Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (Ideam) forecasts continued above-normal rainfall this month, despite the ongoing El Niño phenomenon. The projection indicates a 60% probability of heavier-than-usual precipitation across the Orinoquía, Amazonía, and Andean regions. This contrasts with typical El Niño patterns, which usually bring drier conditions. Experts suggest localized weather factors are overriding the broader El Niño influence in these areas. The increased rainfall raises concerns about potential flooding and landslides. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and preparing for potential emergency responses. Residents in affected regions are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
