It listed 1,700 local communities that had been cut off from communications as more rain continued to fall Sunday over much of the country, especially in the eastern and southern areas.
Some coffee farms in Honduras, Central America’s top producer, were also likely impacted in low-lying coastal areas in the northeast and south, but no estimates of damage were immediately available.
Over the weekend, Sara churned to the northwest where it made landfall on neighboring Belize, home to ancient ruins, beach resorts and coral reefs popular with tourists.
At a virtual press conference on Sunday, Belize Chief Meteorologist Ronald Gordon noted that some 30 centimetres of rain had hit the central coastal town of Dangriga, south of Belize City, while stressing the risk of localized flooding.
Earlier in the day, the Belizean government urged locals to hold religious services remotely, while announcing that all schools would be suspended on Monday as a precaution.
