Strong winds and gusts of up to 100 kilometers affect Costa Rica

San José, Jan 22 (Prensa Latina) Accelerated trade winds have been occurring for several days in Costa Rica, due to the high atmospheric pressure in the region, the National Meteorological Institute (IMN) reported.

In its most recent report indicates that the strongest gusts were reported in La Cruz de Guanacaste with speeds of up to 91 kilometers per hour, Orosi Volcano 86; Cañas 74; Cerro Chitaría 64; Ciudad Colón 60; Heredia and Alajuela 55 kilometers per hour among others.

The entity warns to pay special attention to very strong wind gusts in the North Pacific and Central Valley, so caution is recommended for wind gusts and possible damage to roofs, electrical wiring, signs, trees, as well as in the mountainous parts of the country and the northern province of Guanacaste (national parks, volcanoes).

Costa Rica is going through the so-called dry period, hence the increase in trade winds and the decrease in rainfall.
