Thirteen people have died in flooding and landslides in El Salvador and Guatemala as heavy rains pound Central America, authorities from the two countries said.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said on X that he had asked Congress to make Tuesday a federal holiday to avoid commutes and "reduce the risk of tragedies."
