Inameh reports persistent cloud development associated with variable rainfall for several Venezuelan states

Venezuela's National Meteorology and Hydrology Institute (Inameh) announced that rain and electrical storms continue in eastern states, with unstable conditions expected to last for at least two more hours. The agency reported persistent cloud development associated with variable intensity precipitation and electrical activity in Monagas, Anzoátegui, and Sucre. This alert follows an earlier report predicting heavy rains and electrical storms for Caracas and 10 other states on Saturday, August 22. Inameh stated that atmospheric instability systems would intensify during the afternoon and evening due to tropical wave number 40 interacting with the intertropical convergence zone, increasing cloud cover. Authorities urged caution due to showers and storms in the Greater Caracas area, Bolívar, Amazonas, Anzoátegui, Yaracuy, Lara, Zulia, the plains, and the Andes. Inameh is also tracking tropical wave number 41, expected to reach the Essequibo region between August 25-26, and tropical wave number 42, forecast to arrive in Venezuela between August 28-29, bringing further rainfall. Temperatures in Greater Caracas are expected to range between 20°C and 28°C, with Los Teques between 19°C and 27°C, and La Guaira between 21°C and 30°C. Extreme heat is anticipated in western and coastal areas, with Maracaibo and Coro reaching 36°C, and Isla de Aves reaching 37°C. Mérida will experience the country's lowest temperatures, with a morning low of 8°C and an afternoon high of 20°C.
