Rainfall

Tropical Storm Cristina is expected to bring heavy rains to multiple zones across Honduras this week, according to the National Center for Meteorology.

Honduras is expected to see rain throughout the week, while Choluteca is already reporting infrastructure damage and flooded streets from heavy weather.

Some regions of Honduras are expected to receive up to 80 millimeters of rain with intense electrical activity; authorities recommend precautions.

A tropical wave moving over Central America will bring scattered to moderate rainfall and electrical activity to much of Honduras on Sunday, with heaviest accumulation in the southwest and central regions.

Heavy rains in western Honduras caused the partial roof collapse of the Santiago de Posta Church in Santa Bárbara, a 17th-century structure built in 1600 that residents say has suffered years of neglect and lack of maintenance by heritage authorities.
