The Ministerio de Comunicaciones, the Guatemalan government’s communications ministry, issued several public updates on its official Twitter account regarding weather forecasts and infrastructure projects in early November 2025.
On November 1, the ministry alerted citizens about the onset of cold fronts in the country. In a tweet published at 22:16 UTC, it stated: "¡Llegó la temporada de frentes fríos a Guatemala! El @insivumehgt informa que se prevén entre 14 y 16 frentes fríos para esta temporada." The tweet cites information from INSIVUMEH, Guatemala’s National Institute for Seismology, Vulcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology.
A follow-up post at 22:17 UTC on November 1 offered guidance to the public: " Recomendaciones:
Abrigarse y proteger a los más vulnerables.
Resguardar a los animales.
Precaución por vientos fuertes." These recommendations aim to mitigate health and safety risks associated with colder temperatures and strong winds that typically accompany cold fronts in the region.
The following day, on November 2 at 15:10 UTC, the ministry shared an update on infrastructure improvements in Santa Cruz Muluá. The tweet reported: " En Santa Cruz Muluá, los caminos se transforman.
Con trabajos de balasteo y limpieza de cunetas, @CAMINOS_CIV fortalece la Ruta CR-REU-05, mejorando el tránsito de vehículos, productores y vecinos.
#PlanConecta2025 #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero" This announcement highlights ongoing efforts by CAMINOS_CIV—the ministry's road maintenance division—to improve transportation routes as part of Plan Conecta 2025.
The arrival of cold fronts is a recurring seasonal event in Guatemala. According to local meteorological authorities such as INSIVUMEH, these weather systems can bring significant drops in temperature and increased wind activity between late October and early March each year. Infrastructure projects like those described in Santa Cruz Muluá are part of broader national strategies aimed at enhancing connectivity and ensuring road safety during adverse weather conditions.
