The Situation:
According to the information received from the Forecast Center of the Meteorological Institute, in the last twenty four hours intensive rains have affected the country from Matanzas to Santiago de Cuba, including Isla de la Juventud. These rains have caused severe flooding in the towns of Trinidad, Fomento and Cabaiguan, with economic damages still to be assessed.
The Institute confirms a high probability that the rains will continue through today from Matanzas to Guantanamo, possibly increasing in intensity in mountainous localities in the central region.
