Colombia: CAR warns rains temporary, El Niño to strengthen

Colombia's environmental authority (CAR) warns that recent heavy rains in central regions and Bogotá are temporary and may be linked to El Niño, which is expected to consolidate and strengthen. This suggests a shift from wet to drier conditions, with potential for drought and water stress. The warning is based on official statements, but the exact timing and intensity of El Niño remain uncertain.
