Colombia's Ideam forecasts above-average rainfall despite El Niño conditions

Colombia's Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (Ideam) projects a 60% probability of above-normal precipitation across the Orinoquía, Amazonía, and Andina regions. This forecast deviates from typical El Niño patterns, which usually correlate with drier conditions in these areas, creating uncertainty for agricultural and infrastructure planning.
