TEGUCIGALPA/GUATEMALA CITY—The remains of Hurricane Eta dumped more torrential rain across large parts of Central America early on Friday after days of devastating floods and landslides that killed dozens of people.

Eta wrought chaos after plowing into Nicaragua on Tuesday with 150 miles-per-hour (241 kph) winds and unleashing torrents of rain on isolated and impoverished regions of Honduras and Guatemala.
