Los eventos de mayor intensidad podrían registrarse entre la tarde del 15 y la madrugada del 16 de octubre, así como entre la tarde del 17 y la madrugada del 18 de octubre.
Entre los principales factores asociados al evento previsto se destaca: tránsito de ondas ecuatoriales atmosféricas, divergencia de vientos en niveles altos, aporte de humedad y convergencia de vientos en niveles bajos de la atmósfera, así como las elevadas temperaturas de la superficie del mar por el desarrollo del evento cálido “El Niño”. En la Amazonía, a estos factores se suman, transporte eventual de hume-dad en niveles medios desde la cuenca Amazónica.
