According to meteorologist and agronomist engineer Danilo Ramírez, August was the driest month recorded in El Salvador since 1971. Speaking in an interview on La Tribu, Ramírez stated that the month also established 15 records for maximum temperatures in the country.
The findings were highlighted amid broader regional climate concerns involving the El Niño phenomenon. Separate observations warn that a stronger-than-usual El Niño cycle poses survival risks to vulnerable tropical ecosystems and emblematic species, such as penguin colonies in Pacific archipelagos, by altering ocean waters.
