    Heavy rainfall events were observed in January along the dry southern coast of Peru, resulting in some locations breaking precipitation records of more than 30 years. Heavy rainfall during February led to 42 landslides across Peru and, by the end of summer, 77 people were reported dead, 165 wounded, and 3285 affected. More than 2600 homes were destroyed by floods and landslides. In the Bolivian Andes, an intense rainfall event triggered flash floods when 55 mm fell in Cochabamba on 20 February. This was Cochabamba’s fourth-highest daily precipitation on record and produced 2019’s biggest flood on the Rocha River.

    For this region, nine stations from five countries were analyzed (see Fig. 7.8 for data and station
\nlist). The station distribution covers the relevant intraseasonal regimes of precipitation (Amador
\n1998; Magaña et al. 1999; Amador et al. 2016a,b), wind (Amador 2008), and temperature (Hidalgo
\net al. 2019) on the Caribbean and Pacific slopes of Central America (CA). Precipitation and temperature records for the stations analyzed and regional wind were provided either by CA National
\nWeather Services (CA-NWS), NOAA, or the University of Costa Rica. Anomalies are reported using
\na 1981–2010 base period and were calculated using CA-NWS data. The methodologies used for all
\nvariables can be found in Amador et al. (2011).
