Residents in several regions are being cautioned about the heightened risk of flooding and landslides. The IMN is closely monitoring the situation, urging vigilance in areas identified as being under greater surveillance due to their susceptibility to severe weather impacts. The forecast indicates a period of unstable weather conditions across the nation.

The presence of the tropical depression, combined with existing atmospheric conditions, is expected to create a challenging weather scenario for Costa Rica in the coming days. Authorities are advising the public to stay informed about weather updates and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
