The latest storm of the storm season to change direction, causing the first severe impact

Thanh Hà |

Hurricane Sara - the latest storm of the 2024 hurricane season - caused up to 500mm of rain in many areas of Honduras.

CNN's latest hurricane report says Sara is bringing heavy rain to northeastern Honduras, accompanied by flash floods and landslides, with a forecast to last through the weekend.

As of the morning of November 15, local time, up to 500mm of rain had fallen in many places in Honduras and the rainfall is forecast to increase further.

Previously, forecasters in the US predicted that Hurricane Sara would strengthen into a hurricane and could make landfall on the west coast of Florida, USA.

However, the storm has changed direction unexpectedly. The updated track forecast from the US National Hurricane Center said that the change in the path of Hurricane Sara has helped Florida, USA, escape the danger caused by Sara.

Currently, the US National Hurricane Center predicts that the latest storm of the Atlantic hurricane season will have to undergo too much interaction with land in Central America and Mexico to survive in the Gulf of Mexico early next week as initially predicted.

Sara formed on the afternoon of November 14 at the Honduras - Nicaragua border. Sara is the 18th storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

During the regular typhoon season, storms and depressions decrease in November, but Sara is the third typhoon of the month due to the especially warm water flow due to climate change.

The storm briefly made landfall in northeastern Honduras on the evening of November 14 and could make landfall again as it moved along the coast.

The latest hurricane report from the US National Hurricane Center warns that continuous heavy rains in Sara could cause life-threatening flooding in parts of Honduras. Some places in Honduras could see about 760mm of rain. Other areas in Central America could see rainfall of 250mm or more.

After leaving Honduras this weekend, Sara will threaten to bring strong winds and flooding to Belize. Tropical storm warnings have been in effect from Honduras to Guatemala and Belize since November 14. Additional warnings for Hurricane Sara are possible for Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and Belize in the coming days.

Many scenarios for the development of Hurricane Sara after it interacts with mainland Honduras and the Yucatan Peninsula. However, the possibility of the storm hitting Florida, USA, is ruled out as good news for the US Gulf Coast after being hit by 5 hurricanes this season.
