This expansion comes at a critical time for Central and <span class=\"xn-location\">South America<\/span>, as October closes out the rainiest season of the year. According to AccuWeather meteorologists, mudslides and flooding can be catastrophic to several areas, such as northern <span class=\"xn-location\">Chile<\/span>, where it takes very little rain to cause dangerous flooding problems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are so pleased to be extending the safety, convenience and comfort afforded by AccuWeather&#8217;s MinuteCast to these new regions,&#8221; said AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist, <span class=\"xn-person\">Jonathan Porter<\/span>. &#8220;This tool has proven to be one of our most popular features on our apps and on our website precisely because people find it most useful to plan before stepping out and at multiple points along their journey. Our users rely on MinuteCast to determine the best time to venture out to walk the dog, go for a run, stroll to dinner or how to dress for a sporting event, like &#8216;futbol.&#8217;\u00a0 Because it&#8217;s central to the interface on our free app, this tool literally puts convenience right in the palm of people&#8217;s hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MinuteCast will also be invaluable to help farmers prepare for upcoming precipitous weather, as <span class=\"xn-location\">South America<\/span> alone accounts for approximately 10 percent of the global agricultural product export. Central and <span class=\"xn-location\">South America<\/span> supplies a significant portion of the world&#8217;s corn, soybeans, wheat, coffee, bananas, cocoa and more, where irregular weather patterns in the region have already driven up global prices of some of these commodities. The ability of farmers to adjust activities based on accurate precipitation forecasts can help maximize their seasonal crop outputs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Innovation is in our DNA at AccuWeather and the expansion of MinuteCast is another example of our effort to provide people, communities and businesses with easy to use, life-saving technology wherever they are,&#8221; said AccuWeather Vice President of Science, Innovation and Development, <span class=\"xn-person\">Scott Mackaro<\/span>. &#8220;Increasingly as volatile weather occurs, we are finding new ways to enhance peoples&#8217; safety and well-being by helping them stay prepared ahead of any weather situation, with pinpoint precision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AccuWeather MinuteCast, coupled with\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3312301-1&amp;h=494814994&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.accuweather.com%2Fen%2Fpress%2Faccuweather-launches-digital-hurricane-tracker-in-app-and-online-to-coincide-with-above-normal-2021-hurricane-season%2F986744&amp;a=AccuWeather%27s+Hurricane+Tracker\" rel=\"nofollow\">AccuWeather&#8217;s Hurricane Tracker<\/a>\u00a0also available in Central and <span class=\"xn-location\">South America<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> and the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>, can be lifesaving tools that provide people the lead time necessary to secure their assets and get to shelter as the Atlantic hurricane season continues through November.
