The official IMN weather forecast, for Tuesday, April 11, 2023:
For this Tuesday, a mostly stable pattern is expected over the national territory due to the fact that we will continue with a low moisture content in the atmosphere, in addition to a windy pattern in the center and north of the country. Throughout the day cloudiness is anticipated varying from little to partial at the national level with possible scattered showers in the afternoon for the Central and South Pacific. In addition, a hot day is expected again, especially on the Pacific slope with maximum temperatures hovering between 33-38 °C.
