Very cool! It appears that Central America (along with most of North America apart from Alaska) has been very warm!

Indeed, it has been pretty warm. In El Salvador the average low in January was 4°F above the long term average wich is a an important anomaly for our region. I'm still waiting for a late season shot of true cold air like some of you in Texas.

The high pressure associated to the last cold front that reached Central America was weak so it didn’t produce strong winds but it produced the coldest minimum temperatures since January in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.

VERY COLD MINIMUM TEMPERATURES IN CENTRAL AMERICA BUT NO COLD SURGE

Last week we had some of the coldest (and in some locations THE coldest) temperatures of the year, the interesting thing is that they were not related to a cold front/surge the only features that we had were a mid to upper level anticyclone and dry air that caused completely clear skies and windless nights so I guess that helped to produce an effective radiation cooling, however there may have been another feature that I didn’t notice. This level of cooling without a cold surge is kind of rare but it was great as it finally produced those cool temperatures that we have been waiting for since the first week of January. Belize, Costa Rica and Panama didn’t experience a significant cooling.

Wow!! We haven't even gotten down to 24.8f this year. Of course we aren't in the mountains here in Houston either. Our topography is as flat as a board.

Yeah, very cold :cold: It's interesting how altitude gives us so different climates in a such a small territory like Central America.

STRONGEST WINDS SINCE EARLY JANUARY IN CENTRAL AMERICA

One of the last (if not the last) cold surges of the season occurred last week in Central America, it caused the strongest winds since early January from Belize to Panama, although the temperatures were not as cold as other events. It’s important to note that March and April are the months with the warmest maximum temperatures of the year in Central America so it’s not a surprise to see very warm highs in some places even if we’re under the effects of a cold surge. This is a picture of the cold front in the Gulf of Honduras on March 5

VERY LATE SEASON COLD FRONT IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Image

April and May are the warmest months in Central America but last month an unseasonably strong cold front produced in the region cooler than normal temperatures from April 22 to April 26 (actually they were the coldest temps since February for most of the region), the drop in the minimum temperatures was very significant in some locations as you will find below.

That 28.4f is colder than what we have had here in Houston so far. We probably get that cold tonight. As I have said before many of those temperatures seem quite cold for your area until you realize they are up in the hills and mountains. Have the temps been colder than usual so far this year?

Yes, Central America is very mountainous I think it's more difficult to find flat terrain than elevations :lol: Temperatures have been near normal to slightly below normal but 2011-2012 season was so warm that we've had the coldest temperatures since 2010 so far.
