The Colombian government, through the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (IDEAM), officially confirmed the arrival of the El Niño phenomenon on October 8. This declaration follows observed increases in Pacific Ocean temperatures and a notable reduction in rainfall levels across the country.
The onset of this climatic event has raised concerns regarding the potential for strong intensity, as the decrease in precipitation has already begun to exert pressure on several water basins. Authorities are monitoring the situation to manage the environmental and infrastructure impacts associated with the phenomenon.
