Ecuador's coastal region is under alert as variable intensity rains are expected on Wednesday, with rainfall patterns set to persist between February 15 and 19. The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (Inamhi) has warned of significant rain events specifically impacting the Litoral area, which will be particularly relevant for various sectors and communities located there.
Temperature forecasts indicate a variability across different regions; coastal temperatures will range from 22°C to 31°C, while the Sierra will experience cooler conditions with temperatures between 7°C and 23°C. In the Amazon region, temperatures are expected to hover between 18°C and 28.5°C, and the Insular region will experience warmth with temperatures from 23°C to 32°C. Such variations in temperature underscore the diverse climatic conditions affecting different parts of Ecuador.
Additionally, the UV radiation levels are projected to be in the moderate to very high range, suggesting that outdoor activities should be approached with caution, especially in regions expecting sunshine amid the rainfall. Overall, this weather alert serves as a critical reminder for residents to prepare for potential impacts from the ongoing rainfall, particularly in areas prone to flooding or landslides due to persistent wet conditions.
