In Colombia, 13 people have died due to heavy rains. Among the victims who were killed this week, seven died in a landslide in the southwestern province of Nariño from Friday night to Saturday. Torrential rains caused rivers to overflow, burying homes under mud. According to authorities, 13 people died in Colombia this week due to rare heavy rains for this time of year, officials announced on Sunday. Local authorities published footage of heavy machinery digging through the mud while rescue teams worked at the scene. Colombia's national weather agency "Ideam" reported that a cold front moving from North America to Colombia's Caribbean coast increased rainfall last month by 64% compared to the historical average.
