SANTO DOMINGO. – This Friday, July 4, 2025, the weather in Dominican Republic will be marked by a hot environment and a sky with a grayish and opaque appearance, as a result of the Saharan dust that continues to cover a large part of the national territory. Although in the morning the panorama will be mostly sunny and dry, a significant change is expected in the afternoon, especially towards the northwest region and the border area. According to the forecast issued by the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet), during the afternoon there will be local showers with isolated thunderstorms and wind gusts over provinces such as Dajabón, Monte Cristi, Valverde, Santiago Rodríguez, La Vega, San Juan and Elías Piña, due to the interaction of a trough at several levels of the atmosphere and the approach of a tropical wave. In the rest of the country, a dry environment will be maintained, with partly cloudy skies and a grayish tone, due to the presence of suspended particles. Visibility could be slightly reduced in open or coastal areas.
