The INM explained that the low pressure system is being developed in the southwest of the Caribbean Sea.

In addition to intensifying, it will begin to move along the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, to the northwest of the Caribbean and then to the Gulf of Mexico.

In case of a thunderstorm and strong bursts of wind take refuge in a safe place. Caution to drivers against adverse conditions on roads due to rain and haze,”
