Central America on the Edge of a New Cyclone Season, Still Reeling from the Impacts of Eta and Iota
[Bogotá, Colombia, 3 May 2021] Guatemala and Honduras live day by day with the severe consequences that the passage of tropical storms Eta and Iota left behind. The two tropical storms have devastated the lives of more than seven million people, who now prepare to face a new hurricane season. Large numbers of affected communities continue to face water and sanitation problems, destroyed homes, lack of access to food, and unreconstructed land routes.
Climate change is exacerbating extreme weather in Central America, increasing the intensity of both rain and droughts, and warming sea temperatures are contributing to hyperactive storm seasons, which are devastating for communities without the resilience to deal with them.
