PANAMA CITY, Panama (AFP)—The Panama Canal is planning further reductions to maritime traffic through the waterway after already slashing numbers due to the El Nino weather pattern, the canal’s administrator said Monday.
Panama has declared a nationwide emergency over El Nino, a phenomenon developing over the Pacific Ocean that is affecting worldwide weather patterns and pushing up global temperatures.
These conditions have provoked a severe drought in Central America, which poses huge problems for the interoceanic Panama Canal.
