After the cyclone, people may be exposed to disease and other risks if they do not have access to basic supplies such as drinking water.

In meteorologyAnd cyclone It is a closed system of low pressure which forms in tropical or subtropical zones and is characterized by circular and converging winds. They can be classified into different types, depending on their origin and geographical location.

Extratropical cyclones, also called depressions or depressions, form in areas farther from the equator and are less intense than tropical cyclones, but can bring high winds, rain and snowfall to some areas.

In this context, the President of the senamhiGuillermo Baigorria, explained that the sudden warming of the ocean, near Piura and Tumbes, has been recorded for six weeks, which is why the phenomenon known as Cyclone Yakuwould have already been in these areas.

Due to its characteristics, the authority indicates that it cannot yet be declared as an El Niño phenomenon, but the temperature effects presented cause torrential rains in much of the country.

The weather advisory indicates that the heavy rains will continue until March 14in addition to predicting an increase in Lima.

Regarding the duration, Baigorria explains that, for Wednesday March 15, this phenomenon is already receding or disappearing from the Peruvian coast.

Despite this change that could occur in the coming days, “we still have these warm waters, ahead of Ecuador, Tumbes and Peru,” said the president of Senamhi.

What you need to know: the volume of rain in Lima will be 5 millimeters, that is, 5 liters of water will accumulate per square meter.

Cyclones are weather systems that can have serious consequences in the areas they affect. Some of the most common consequences of cyclones are:

– Strong winds: Cyclones can produce extremely strong winds that can damage buildings, trees and other objects in their path. The winds can be strong enough to overturn vehicles and bring down power and telecommunication lines.

– Floods: Cyclones often produce heavy rainfall which can cause flooding. Floods can damage homes, infrastructure and crops, and can displace people from their homes.

– Storm surge: Storm surge, also known as storm surge, is another common hazard associated with cyclones. Storm surges can be very dangerous as they can cause sudden and life-threatening coastal flooding.

– Landslides: Cyclones can destabilize the terrain and cause landslides. Landslides can be deadly and destroy houses, roads and other types of infrastructure.

According to the recent short-term heavy rain warning issued by senamhithe Peruvian coast is located in a red or high danger level.

Accumulated precipitation may have 24 hours of extreme intensity, in addition to producing pluvial floods. Likewise, there are associated phenomena such as electric shocks, strong winds and hail.

The institution shared a series of recommendations to people considering this scenario in much of the country.

– Reschedule activities in areas exposed to heavy rains.

– Protect assets against heavy rains and their associated events (hail, electric shocks, high winds and floods).

– Pay attention to official information.
