Chile's Meteorological Directorate (DMC) has forecast rainfall across 13 regions of the country on Tuesday, July 28, with showers and thunderstorms extending from the north to the southernmost areas. The report indicates that precipitation in the central zone will gradually decrease throughout the day. Morning rains were already recorded in the Metropolitan Region and Los Ríos, while other parts of the country experienced heavy cloud cover. In the northern regions, light morning rain is expected in parts of Antofagasta, particularly in Tocopilla and Antofagasta, along with snowfall in the Atacama mountain range accompanied by strong winds. Isolated rains are predicted in Coquimbo during the early morning and afternoon. In the central area, there will be heavy clouds and thunderstorms decreasing from the Metropolitan Region to the Bío-Bío, with partial cloudiness expected in the afternoon. Light rains are expected in various communes in the Valparaíso region during the morning, while San Felipe and Los Andes will have rain throughout much of the day.

The National Weather Service of Chile (Dirección Meteorológica de Chile, DMC) has issued a seasonal forecast indicating that August will likely bring above-average rainfall across much of the country. The prediction highlights a clear signal of increased precipitation, extending from the Atacama Region through to the Biobío Region. According to reports from Megatiempo, this pattern is expected to persist throughout the three-month period of August, September, October. In Santiago, the projected rainfall during August ranges between 23 and 50 millimeters, while Valparaíso could see between 28 and 88 millimeters, and Concepción might experience up to 151 millimeters. The DMC also forecasts that these elevated precipitation levels will continue into the following months, with some areas potentially seeing significantly higher than average rainfall. The weather outlook includes specific regional predictions. From August to October, La Serena is expected to receive between 2 and 23 millimeters of rain, whereas Santiago could accumulate between 38 and 102 millimeters. Valparaíso might see between 45 and 125 millimeters, and Concepción could witness between 206 and 332 millimeters of rainfall. In contrast, regions such as Los Lagos and Aysén are anticipated to have rainfall within normal or below-normal ranges. Meanwhile, the southernmost part of the Magallanes Region may experience precipitation exceeding historical averages for the season. Temperature projections suggest that minimum temperatures will be above normal in the Arica and Parinacota and Maule Regions, while maximum temperatures are expected to be warmer than usual from the north to the Araucanía Region. Some areas near Valparaíso and Los Lagos will remain close to typical temperature ranges. In the Atacama Region, recent forecasts confirm that rainfall is expected to return in the coming days. On Friday, July 31, light rains are predicted in several communities, primarily during the early morning and afternoon hours. The system is expected to affect both coastal and inland parts of the region, though in certain locations, the rain could last until late afternoon. In Chañaral and Caldera, skies will be overcast with rain during the early morning, transitioning to partly cloudy conditions by evening. Winds are expected to reach speeds of 25 to 40 kilometers per hour, with temperatures ranging between 14°C and 18°C. In Copiapó, similar patterns are anticipated, with rain concentrated in the morning and winds continuing through the day. In Huasco, rain is expected to persist into the afternoon, accompanied by strong winds, while in Freirina, rain will begin in the morning and continue into the evening. A new frontal system, accompanied by a category 3 atmospheric river, is set to impact the center-southern regions of Chile, marking the end of July. This system is expected to bring heavy rainfall, with some areas possibly receiving up to 250 millimeters of precipitation. According to analyses by meteorologist Reina Campos, based on European and American climate models, the heaviest rainfall is anticipated in communities such as San Fabián de Alico, Coihueco, Recinto, Antuco, Ralco, Coñaripe, Neltume, Choshuenco, Futrono, Valdivia, and Corral. Other towns, including Chillán, San Ignacio, Trupán, Polcura, Laraquete, Curanilahue, Tirúa, Melipeuco, Pucón, Lican Ray, Panguipulli, Lago Ranco, Los Lagos, and Mehuín, could see between 150 and 200 millimeters of rain. The system is also expected to produce significant snowfall along the Central Andes, with the ECMWF model predicting nearly two meters of snow accumulation in the Ñuble Region and between one and two meters in the highlands of the Biobío Region. In the Metropolitan Region, a brief respite from rainfall is expected before the arrival of another frontal system. On Wednesday, skies will be overcast with no precipitation, temperatures ranging from 6°C to 16°C. Thursday will feature transitional weather, with morning clouds quickly clearing under sunny conditions, temperatures varying between 6°C and 20°C. Rain is expected to return on Friday, with moderate to heavy rainfall, temperatures dropping to 7°C and 12°C. The DMC predicts continued rain throughout the night, with the weather shifting to overcast conditions by Saturday. On Tuesday, July 28, the DMC reported that 13 regions across Chile will experience rainfall, with precipitation ranging from light showers to thunderstorms. The northern regions, particularly in Antofagasta, will see morning drizzle, while the Atacama Cordillera may encounter snow showers with wind speeds reaching up to 110 kilometers per hour. In the Coquimbo Region, isolated rainfall is expected in the mornings and afternoons in communities like Combarbalá and Illapel. In the central zone, abundant cloud cover and thunderstorms are anticipated, gradually decreasing toward the Biobío Region. In the Metropolitan Region, light rain is expected in the early morning in Curacaví and Melipilla, while Santiago and Colina will see rain extending into the afternoon. In San José de Maipo, rain could persist into the night. In the O’Higgins Region, light rain is expected in Rancagua, Rengo, and San Fernando. In the south-central and southern regions, weak rainfall is expected in the Maule Region, with stronger storms in Ñuble and Biobío during the early morning and afternoon. In the Araucanía Region, light rain is expected in Temuco, Angol, Villarrica, and Pucón. In the Los Ríos Region, light rain is expected in Valdivia, Panguipulli, Río Bueno, La Unión, and Lago Ranco. In the Los Lagos Region, light rain is expected in Osorno and Cochamó in the morning, with rain beginning in Chaitén in the afternoon.

Meteorology delivers July frontal system balance and states that El Niño phenomenon will continue to favor extreme events

The National Weather Service of Chile (DMC) conducted a technical assessment of the weather system affecting the country between July 14 and 21, noting that conditions linked to El Niño will continue to favor extreme weather events. The report highlights that three consecutive frontal systems, reinforced by an atmospheric river, impacted a wide area from the Atacama Region to Los Lagos. Historical data indicates this event ranks among the most significant rainfall episodes recorded in July over recent decades. Key locations like Rodelillo, Valparaíso, Curicó, and Quinta Normal experienced above-average precipitation, with La Serena seeing over ten times its usual rainfall in eight days. Several weather stations broke historical records, particularly in the Atacama Desert and La Serena. The DMC confirmed that Chile remains under the influence of a strong El Niño episode, which is expected to persist until autumn 2027, reaching peak intensity between October and November. NOAA projections support this outlook, indicating continued above-normal Pacific Ocean temperatures. The DMC will maintain monitoring and update seasonal forecasts monthly.
