For this Monday and Tuesday, October 30 and 31, rain is expected to increase due to the approach of Tropical Storm Pilar, which is in the Pacific, although it will not impact Guatemala. However, it is approaching the coasts of El Salvador and Nicaragua.
The National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (CONRED) issued recommendations 27 and 28 for the authorities and for citizens in general, derived from the displacement of Tropical Storm Pilar.
