“This quarter – November, December, and January – with a 70% probability, we expect the La Niña phenomenon,” stated Zambrano, emphasizing that “for our country, the La Niña phenomenon tends to increase precipitation and decrease temperatures; we expect temperatures not to be as high as last year.”

On the other hand, he highlighted that Inameh’s operations are part of the fifth vertex of the Great Peace Quadrants Mission, following the instructions of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and supervised by the Minister of Interior, Justice, and Peace, Diosdado Cabello. “We work with continuous monitoring from Inameh, 24 hours a day, on meteorological conditions for the protection of the Venezuelan people,” Zambrano assured.

Climate Emergency

He also stated that “we have transitioned from a climate crisis to a climate emergency; I can provide you with data on global temperatures since the 1980s: each decade has been hotter than the previous one. Since July 2023, each month has been hotter than the previous one.”

Regarding Venezuela’s meteorological outlook, he recalled that “it is very particular; being in the tropics, Venezuela is mainly characterized by not having seasons, we simply have two periods,” specifically, a dry season that starts in November and ends in April, followed by a rainy season.
