Daily Weather in El Salvador

This week in El Salvador, the predicted weather from Thursday the 2nd through Saturday the 4th include a high of 87 and low of 71 on Thursday. Friday it heats up with a high of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 72. And Saturday the 4th is the warmest of the 3 with a high of 94 and a low of 71. All three days will most likely be dry with a 10 percent chance of precipitation the 2nd and 20 percent the next 2 days. The average pressure for the three day period is 29.79 in. The pressure slightly decreased over the three days, but the average wind speed for the three was predicted remained mellow over the three days at 4 mph with a high of 10 mph.



As you can see by the map, the majority of clouds in the area are in Guatemala rather then El Salvador, but some low warm clouds can be seen entering the region. This is reenforces the prediction of a lack of precipitation because there are not many clouds over El Salvador but rather the surrounding countries. On this map you can also see the texture of all the mountains across El Salvador and the green areas with some vegetation as well as the beige more desert areas.



 In this Map we can see two high pressure systems over central America at a pressure of 1016 and a isobar of lower pressure a little lower at 1012 mb. Between the two highs, is where the storm that is visible in the first map is located. The change in pressure between the two along with the moist air is causing heavy precipitation and thunderstorms in Guatemala. El Salvador is lucky enough to avoid most of the bad weather in the area. 

This map shows the small amount of cloud cover creeping into El Salvador. The rest of the country appears to be rather clear which is responsible for the increase in temperature expected over the next 3 days. It is a small country without much variation in pressure keeping winds mellow and temperatures high. This satellite view reassures the prediction of limited to no precipitation, light winds, and hot moist air. Although the weather there will be nice and sunny, 94 degrees is just too hot to enjoy.

  1. The difference in our two countries is night and day. Canada and El Salvador have significantly different temperatures and maps. Good job on this blog post, it's really good.

  2. Our two countries are totally different. Your country is so hot and doesn't have many clouds and lacks precipitation whereas mine gets more than enough.

  3. Damn El Salvador gets hot as balls! New Zealand's temperatures have a range of 54 to 69. haha. We contrast one change in pressure and wind speed as in Wellington the wind speed and pressure increased over the 3 day time period.
