AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoTropical Storm Cristina in Nicaragua: Western Nicaragua is dealing with heavy rains and strong winds from Tropical Storm Cristina, with reports of floods, landslides, and major road damage in León and Chinandega, plus seawater seepage into coastal neighborhoods; authorities warn up to 300 mm of rain in a day and urge people to watch for flash flooding and sinkholes as the storm lingers near the coast. Regional storm tracking: Forecasters say Cristina could cross Central America and move toward the Gulf, while Tropical Storm Boris has weakened after landfall in Mexico—both systems keep the main risk focused on dangerous rainfall, mudslides, and flooding. Wildlife and disease risk: The New World screwworm fly continues spreading in North America, with new cases reported in Texas and nearby areas, triggering animal quarantines and raising concerns for livestock and wildlife—an issue that matters for Nicaragua’s broader biodiversity and biosecurity planning. Marine impacts in the region: Costa Rica’s Caribbean is seeing record sargassum arrivals, with monitoring tied to nearby Nicaragua-linked areas and reports of increased turtle strandings.
