Colombia’s Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (Ideam) forecasts increased rainfall across significant portions of the country leading up to and potentially impacting Sunday’s elections. The affected regions include the Coffee Axis, Antioquia department, and southern Colombia. The forecast suggests heavier precipitation on Saturday, the day before citizens head to the polls. While the extent of disruption remains unclear, authorities are monitoring the situation closely. The Ideam warning raises concerns about potential difficulties for voters traveling to polling stations, particularly in rural areas. No specific measures to address potential disruptions have been publicly announced, but officials are likely preparing for possible logistical challenges. The rainfall could affect voter turnout in the designated regions.
