Hurricanes and tropical depressions in Nicaragua

Meteo Info Online team Reading time: 1 min

Nicaragua's Caribbean coast — especially the North Caribbean (Bilwi/Puerto Cabezas) — is among the hardest hit by hurricanes and tropical depressions, with events such as Felix (2007) and Eta and Iota (2020).

Rain, flooding and landslides

Cyclones drop very intense rain that causes flooding and landslides, both on the Caribbean side and, through their effects, in the centre and the Pacific. The season runs June to November.

How to prepare

  • Follow the alerts from INETER and SINAPRED.
  • Avoid rivers, gullies and low-lying areas during heavy rain.
  • Follow the radar and the system's track on Meteo Info Online.
