Panama Canal: Fewer ships can pass due to less rain
Panama has the Panama Canal, which connects the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Ships from all over the world use this canal to transport a lot of cargo.
パナマ運河の近くで10月に降った雨は、今までの70年でいちばん少なくなりました
October rain near the Panama Canal is the lowest in 70 years
The water in the lake that sends water to the canal is also very low.
For this reason, Panamanian authorities have reduced the number of ships allowed to pass through the canal.
Up until now, there were about 36 ships passing by each day, but from November that number has increased to 31.
After this, I will gradually reduce the number and reach 18 by February next year.
We are also changing the rules regarding the size of ships that are allowed to pass.
