The National Staff of Civil Defense has initiated the Information Phase across eastern Cuba on Saturday due to the ongoing intense rainfall. This phase was activated at 10:00 a.m. for the provinces of Guantánamo, Santiago de Cuba, Holguín, Granma, and Las Tunas.
The Civil Defense is acting in accordance with alerts from the Institute of Meteorology (INSMET), which had previously warned about a trough over the Atlantic Ocean. This weather pattern is associated with strong showers, rain, and thunderstorms approaching the easternmost part of Cuba.
