And cyclone of tropical characteristics has put the Peruvian population on alert in recent days. It is Yourswhich formed a few days ago in front of the Peruvian sea at the height of the North Coast and center.
Abraham Levy, known as the meteorologist, gave more details about this formation. He ruled out it becoming a hurricane, but said it was a completely unusual phenomenon.
“You first have to separate the concept when you hear the word cyclone. It’s always related to a hurricane, isn’t it? This is not the case,” said the expert.
He pointed out that the air masses that make up the planet’s atmosphere are organized into high and low pressure systems. For example, the entire South Pacific, off Chile and Peru, is dominated by high pressures, it is an area where the air tends to sink and does not allow the circulation of rainy areas. He anticyclone It’s like a great whirlwind of air flowing counter-clockwise. In the case of the anticyclone we have, it brings cold air and southerly winds to the peruvian coastand the characteristics we all know of the coastal climate are the same.
But now the opposite of the anticyclone has appeared, a low pressure it is the hurricane. Low pressure is an area of an air parcel dominated by low weight.
Regarding the damage, he pointed out that this whirlwind, which rotates counterclockwise, sends wind, hot and humid air, typical of the equatorial zone, towards the north coast of peru and towards the Ecuadorian coast. “And in recent days, an increase in sea surface temperature off the northern coast characteristic of the (phenomenon of) child. Hence the Child Watch notice. And we have rains,” he said.
He estimated that he will be with us for about four or five more days and that he will not approach the coast, but will move away from it. “There the influence of this low pressure system ends. And I would say that all the conditions that produce these floods in the north for a year, they tend to dissipate in six or seven days, depending on the models available,” Levy said.
Son computer science used by meteorologists around the world and meteorological institutions to anticipate weather conditions. In other words, there is an additional one-week window of very heavy rain in Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, and a few other points. There will be a warming of the sea which can be very significant, but it will not necessarily rain.
“You can get very hot water in acapulco and it’s not raining. It must take place in conditions of instability,” the expert said.
Although he made it clear that action needs to be taken regarding the rains, he said the intensity is much lower than what we have seen in the coastal child. He added that the Coastal Child can develop in autumn, but in autumn it does not rain anymore. “We are probably going to have a warm autumn on the Peruvian coast. After spending about two and a half years with the Nina cooling the sea, bringing us very marked winters and very attenuated summers. What we are experiencing is a transition to normalcy,” he explained.
Finally, the “meteorologist” underlined: “We are not going to have any hurricane on the Peruvian coast, definitely.
In the same line, Kelita Quispesupervisor of the weather forecast of the senamhiHe noted that not to be confused, it is not a hurricane. “We have the presence of a cyclone, with characteristics similar to a hurricane, but it is not quite a hurricane.”
