Tegucigalpa's two largest reservoirs remain critically low—La Concepción at 24.74% and Los Laureles at 28.05% of capacity—forcing water-distribution cycles to stretch from 9 to 12 days as officials await sustained rainfall to replenish supplies.

A tropical wave entering Honduras on Monday is expected to produce light, scattered rainfall across the country, with forecasters noting the possibility of heavier accumulations than recent systems; the dry season (canícula) is forecast to extend into early September across much of the country.

Facing prolonged drought that is shrinking reservoir levels, Tegucigalpa's mayor Juan Diego Zelaya announced that water-rationing cycles will widen from every 7 days to every 9 days starting next week, aiming to stretch supplies until September rains begin.
