La Oficina de Pronóstico y Vigilancia Meteorológica de Etesa prevé condiciones de lluvias y tormentas dentro de las próximas 72 horas sobre el país.

La Zona de Convergencia Intertropical se mantiene activa, aunada a la baja presión de Colombia y el paso de la Onda Tropical N° 3, que mantiene su eje desde el oriente de Cuba hasta el norte de Colombia.

"El pronóstico indica el ingreso de la Onda Tropical N° 3 en horas de la noche y madrugada de este sábado, desplazándose durante las próximas 24 horas", informó el Sistema Nacional de Protección Civil.

Se prevé que las lluvias se registren de moderadas a fuertes en sectores del occidente, en áreas de Panamá, Colón y provincias aledañas.

Ante este pronóstico, el Centro de Operaciones de Emergencias Nacional (COE), emitió a partir de las 3:00 pm de este viernes 29 de mayo hasta las 3:00 pm del lunes 1 de junio, Aviso de Prevención (Vigilancia y Monitoreo), tras la inestabilidad atmosférica, propia de la temporada lluviosa del país.

El COE recomienda a las embarcaciones livianas que deberán extremar medidas de seguridad en zonas marítimas.

Las zonas vulnerables a inundaciones y deslizamientos de tierra, deberán seguir las medidas de prevención que señala el Sinaproc como:

  • No cruzar ríos o quebradas debido a que las cabezas de aguas son repentinas y peligrosas
  •  No cruzar calles anegadas
  • Disminuir la velocidad de su vehículo si se encuentra manejando durante las lluvias

El Sinaproc realizará monitoreos en todo el país y pide a la población mantenerse informada a través de las cuentas oficiales.

Continuity of light to moderate downpours with heavy intervals and possible electric shock.

The Office of Forecast and Meteorological Watch of Etesa foresees conditions of rains and storms within the next 72 hours over the country.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone remains active, coupled with the low pressure of Colombia and the passage of Tropical Wave No. 3, which maintains its axis from eastern Cuba to northern Colombia.

"The forecast indicates the entry of Tropical Wave No. 3 in the night and early hours of this Saturday, moving during the next 24 hours," reported the National Civil Protection System.

The rains are expected to register from moderate to heavy in western sectors, in areas of Panama, Colón and neighboring provinces.

Given this forecast, the National Emergency Operations Center (COE), issued from 3:00 pm on Friday, May 29 to 3:00 pm on Monday, June 1, Notice of Prevention (Surveillance and Monitoring) , after atmospheric instability, typical of the country's rainy season.

The COE recommends light boats to take extreme security measures in maritime areas.

Areas vulnerable to floods and landslides must follow the preventive measures indicated by Sinaproc, such as:

  • Do not cross rivers or streams because the water heads are sudden and dangerous
  • Do not cross flooded streets
  • Slow down your vehicle if you are driving during the rains

Sinaproc will carry out monitoring throughout the country and asks the population to stay informed through official accounts.

Yes, and there are another three tropical waves marching in sequence behind this one. They are about 3 days' apart, depending on their speed across the Atlantic and the Caribbean. The three weather charts posted below are 24-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour looks ahead. They show the expected progression of the tropical waves. The major wind/precipitation occurs with and behind the wave, so it looks like Monday and Tuesday will be quite wet in Western Panama.
