☆ 'Atypical' rains kill at least 8 in Mexican state of Jalisco

MEXICO CITY, Sept 25 (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed and another three were injured after a river in the Mexican state of Jalisco burst its banks following unusually heavy rains, another extreme weather event as climate change helps whip up ever deadlier storms. The "atypical" rains completely destroyed four houses and another 50 homes were being evaluated for damages, Gustavo Robles, who heads the municipality of Autlan de Navarro, said at a press conference on Monday. With climate change rainfall can increase or become more erratic, as a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor – allowing more moisture to build up before clouds finally break. Elsewhere in the region, Guatemalan authorities said on Monday that at least six people were killed after a river burst its banks in the midst of heavy rains that poured over the Central American country on Sunday. Before the Sunday rains, at least 29 people had been killed due to flooding in Guatemala this rainy season, data from its national disaster agency Conred shows.

GUATEMALA CITY, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Heavy rains overnight caused a river in Guatemala's capital to burst its banks, killing at least six people and leaving 13 others missing, authorities said on Monday. Six homes were swept away after the Las Vacas river, which runs through Guatemala City, overflowed in an area about three km (1.8 miles) south of downtown, Guatemala's national disaster agency Conred said. The girl killed was likely between three and five years old, Conred field technician Kevin Escobar told journalists. Before Sunday evening's rains, at least 29 people had been killed due to flooding in Guatemala this rainy season, according to Conred.

☆ Hurricane Lisa edges close to Belize barrier reef, major port
  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Nov 2 (Reuters) - Hurricane Lisa will strike coastal Belize Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicted, edging very close to the country's barrier reef before it moves across northern Guatemala and southeastern Mexico. Weather models show Lisa's heavy rains and dangerous winds likely targeting some top tourist destinations in Belize, Guatemala and Mexico's Caribbean-facing Yucatan Peninsula, dotted by beach resorts, pristine coral reefs and Mayan ruins. The Category 1 hurricane was about 35 miles (60 km) east-southeast of Belize City, a major port, packing maximum sustained winds of 80 miles per hour (130 km per hour), the Miami-based NHC said in a bulletin. Belize's national emergency organization said borders would close at 2 p.m. (2000 GMT), with ports and airports shuttering. President Alejandro Giammattei of neighboring Guatemala told a news conference food rations were being sent to vulnerable areas.
☆ Hurricane Lisa strikes coast near top Belize port

BELIZE CITY, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Hurricane Lisa bore down on Belize on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported in a bulletin, predicting it will later move across the jungles of northern Guatemala and southeastern Mexico. Weather models show Lisa's heavy rainfall and powerful winds will likely target tourist destinations in Belize, Guatemala and Mexico's Caribbean-facing Yucatan Peninsula, dotted by beach resorts, pristine coral reefs and Mayan ruins. The eye of Lisa, now at Category 1 strength, is currently located about 5 miles (8 km) south of Belize City, the tiny Caribbean country's commercial hub, as it churns westward. Palm trees buckled as winds picked up in the Caribbean port city, as residents reported water and power outages plus some flooding. The Belize government's emergency services announced on Wednesday afternoon a state of emergency including a curfew across two districts covering large swathes of its Caribbean coast through Thursday.
