The country has issued Status Orange warnings for six counties ahead of Storm Boelo, which is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain. The storm is predicted to move toward the northwest, affecting the northern and western regions with very strong winds. Intense rainfall is also expected in the western and southwestern areas.
Meteorological services have activated the Status Orange alert system, indicating a high risk of severe weather conditions. The warnings cover six counties, though specific names were not provided in the reports. Local authorities are advising residents to prepare for the storm’s impact, including potential flooding and hazardous travel conditions.
This is the second major storm to be tracked in the region this month, following a similar weather event that caused disruption in early October. The current storm is expected to reach its peak intensity within the next 48 hours, with wind speeds potentially exceeding 100 km/h in affected areas. Emergency services are on standby to respond to any incidents, though no immediate casualties have been reported.
The Status Orange alerts are part of a national weather warning system designed to inform the public about severe weather risks. Similar alerts were issued last year during a major storm that caused widespread damage across the country. Officials are urging residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
