Weather forecasts indicate intermittent showers in the metropolitan area, in addition to possible thunderstorms.
A rainy start to the week marked the north-central area of the country, with new precipitation which also reached the Metropolitan Region .
The condition is associated with a segregated depression which leaves showers of different intensity between the northern regions and the central zone of Chile, which will continue in the coming hours, mainly between Antofagasta and O’Higgins.
“It’s not a uniform cloud like a frontal system, the separate lows are compact in some areas as they rotate. This produces showers, which means intermittent precipitation,” explains Allison Göhler, meteorologist at CHV.
How long does it rain in Santiago?
According to the portal Weatherized the rain will continue in Santiago intermittent throughout this Monday, and will also reach Tuesday morning on October 8.
A similar view was expressed by Göhler, who said that rains would persist in the capital until tomorrow. The expert stressed that “it will not rain all day. It’s going to stop, we’re going to start raining again later and it’s going to stay that way. “.
“It is important to emphasize that this segregated reduction seemed quite weak for the Metropolitan Region. But over the week it got stronger, because it’s not just a condition, it’s an isolated depression with a jet stream above it and a coastal trough at the surface. Both conditions make this isolated depression stronger, which is why we are going to see more precipitation in the central area,” explained the professional.
How much does it rain in Santiago
Regarding the estimated amounts of precipitation, meteorologist Allison Göhler indicated that there could be between 10 to 15 mm for today in addition to a range between 5 and 15 mm for Tuesday.
“It’s very variable, it’s very difficult to predict the precipitation ranges of an isolated depression, but it’s also important that you know that these They are more concentrated towards the foothills and mountain ranges. . There will be showers on the coast, but the heaviest should be inland,” he said.
Thunderstorms likely
In this regard, the Chile Meteorological Directorate holds an opinion for thunderstorms likely associated with the heavy precipitation that will occur in a short period of time.
Meteorology indicates that the possibility will stay until Tuesday evening October 8 , between the regions of Coquimbo and O’Higgins, including the metropolitan region .
