Rain and swells are forecasted for the northern coast from Camagüey to Guantánamo.

The Cuban Institute of Meteorology (INSMET) has forecasted rainy conditions and swell along the northern coast from Camagüey to Guantánamo for the afternoon and evening of Wednesday.

In its report, the monitoring center indicated that showers will be more frequent and intense in the north of Holguín and Guantánamo, where heavy rainfall could occur in certain areas.

He noted that, in the rest of the country, the sky will be partly cloudy, with a chance of isolated showers, mainly in the interior and the southeastern regions.

Maximum temperatures will range between 29 and 32 degrees Celsius, with higher values in the southeastern region, and at night they will drop to a range of 23 to 26 degrees Celsius.

The winds will blow from the northeast to the east, at speeds ranging from 15 to 30 kilometers per hour, and could reach 35 kilometers in the northern coastal areas, with higher gusts.

Regarding maritime conditions, wave surges are expected along the northern coasts of the western and eastern regions, and surf in the central region and from Cabo Cruz to Punta de Maisí. In the rest of the southern coastline, little wave activity is anticipated.

In a previous report, INSMET stated that during the last 24 hours, rainfall was recorded in the province of Guantánamo, which was much more isolated in the rest of the country, with reports mainly along the northern coast.

These rains are still linked to clouds coming in from the sea, carried by winds from the northeast to the east, as well as the remnants of a trough extending from the south of the Bahamas to the waters north of eastern Cuba.

He also noted that in the central region of the country, there have been reports of showers and some thunderstorms driven by strong upper-level currents, highlighting the city of Camagüey with a total of 47.4 millimeters of precipitation.

Additionally, it was mentioned that high migration pressures continue to dominate the territory, generating winds from the northeast to the east. This has contributed to the formation of high clouds associated with upper currents, which could lead to occasional clouds during the morning in the central and eastern northern coast, with a higher likelihood of rain in the easternmost part of the country.

Due to the terrain conditions, these rainfalls could become heavy in certain areas, while the rest of the country is expected to experience very isolated showers.

Regarding cyclonic activity, no development of tropical systems is anticipated in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, or the Gulf of Mexico in the next 12 to 24 hours.

The persistent rains have delayed repair work on the La Farola viaduct, one of the main access routes to the city of Baracoa, which suffered severe damage after Hurricane Oscar.

However, they have not prevented the regime from beginning the distribution of a few products to those affected by Hurricane Oscar.
