Dry Season

Honduras recorded 1,007 forest fires during the extended dry season, scorching 93,634 hectares nationwide, with Olancho suffering the worst damage and officials warning of serious risks to water supplies.

UMAPS director Gustavo Boquín warned that if rains don't continue, Tegucigalpa's water supply—already at historic lows with some neighborhoods receiving service only once a week—could face severe shortages between late July and early August when the annual dry spell begins.
