This phenomenon began to appear since Friday and it will continue until next Wednesday, according to the notice of Sinaproc, that explains the phenomenon from the transition of the dry to rainy season .
In the special days, the low tide will come to 0,55 meters height and the changes of water levels will happen every six hours approximately, as it is usual in this region.
The dangers that the authorities indicate owe to the rise of rivers, creeks and beaches, in addition to the swell that it causes, what turns out to be dangerous for boats, swimmers and people who live close to the area, which could overflow. The previous weekend severe local thunderstorms generated alarm among the neighbors of the capital due to the flooding of creeks in addition to the fall of trees and the interruption of electrical services in some areas.
