Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / Weather | | Spanish term or phrase: condicionaron un empuje de humedad | La situación de emergencia ha sido ocasionada por centros de bajas presiones que condicionaron un empuje de humedad procedente del Océano Pacífico.

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance. |
