The weather conditions for this Saturday, November 14, will be marked by increasing cloudiness, light rains, and isolated showers in several regions of Honduras, due to the influence of two atmospheric phenomena: a high-pressure wedge over the northwest and a surface trough toward the east.
The meteorologist on duty at the National Center for Atmospheric, Oceanographic and Seismic Studies (Cenaos), Jairo García, explained that these systems will favor rainfall of varying intensity, mainly in the northwest and the eastern zone of the national territory.
According to the forecast, the high-pressure wedge will generate light rains and drizzles in sectors of the northwest, while the trough will cause isolated light precipitation and showers in the east, some accompanied by electrical activity.
Although a warm atmosphere is expected for much of the day, the authorities also foresee a slight drop in temperatures during the night and early morning, so some areas will experience cooler conditions.
Among the highlights of the forecast is the behavior of temperatures in the country's 18 departments.
Intibucá will register the lowest minimum temperature, at 13 degrees Celsius, while Ocotepeque will have a minimum of 18 degrees.
At the opposite extreme, Choluteca will reach 35 degrees Celsius, the highest maximum temperature forecast…

The forecaster on duty at the National Center for Atmospheric, Oceanographic and Seismic Studies (Cenaos), Jairo García, explained that these systems will favor rainfall of varying intensity, mainly in the northwest and the eastern zone of the national territory. According to the forecast, the high-pressure wedge will generate light rain and drizzle in sectors of the northwest, while the trough will cause isolated light rainfall and showers in the east, some accompanied by electrical activity. Although a warm environment is expected for much of the day, authorities also anticipate a slight drop in temperatures during the night and early morning, so some areas will experience cooler conditions. The trough located toward the east will cause isolated rainfall that could be accompanied by electrical activity.

Intibucá will register the lowest minimum temperature, at 13 degrees Celsius, while Ocotepeque will have a minimum of 18 degrees. At the opposite extreme, Choluteca will reach 35 degrees Celsius, the highest maximum temperature forecast for this day. It will be followed by Valle, with 33 degrees, and Comayagua, La Paz, and Olancho, with maximums of 32 degrees. In Francisco Morazán, where Tegucigalpa is located, temperatures between 20 and 29 degrees are expected, while in Cortés the forecast sets a maximum of 31 degrees and a minimum of 23. These conditions reflect that, despite the presence of rain in some sectors, heat will continue to predominate during the hours of greatest sun exposure in much of Honduras. Intibucá will have the lowest minimum temperature in the country, with a forecast of 13 degrees Celsius.

Wave heights along the Caribbean coast and the Gulf of Fonseca will remain between one and three feet, according to the forecast. (Photo: Archive / EFE)As for maritime conditions, Cenaos forecasts wave heights of between one and three feet both along the Caribbean coast and in the Gulf of Fonseca. This means that sea conditions will remain within that range throughout the day, according to meteorological projections. Given the possibility of rain and electrical activity, the population is advised to stay alert to Copeco announcements, avoid exposure during storms, and take precautions when driving on roads and in sectors where rainfall occurs. Authorities also recommend checking forecast updates, as conditions may vary across the different regions of the national territory.
