The entry of abundant moisture from both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean generated favorable conditions that produced prolonged periods of rain/showers and thunderstorm activity over Guatemala from the first days of May 2020. Adverse weather was produced over the North, West, East, and Centre of Guatemala.

This event briefing describes the impact of the precipitation on Guatemala, which is associated with a Covered Area Rainfall Event (CARE), starting on 9 May and ending on 20 May 2020.
