Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Republic’s Meteorology Institute (
Indomet) reported that a
tropical wave located over the western portion of the country maintains the humidity content in our air mass, while interacting with a
trough at various levels of the troposphere, therefore, there will be clouds with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over towns in the northeast, southeast and southwest regions from the morning hours.
He indicated that after midday, cloudiness will continue to increase, with heavy showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts expected until the early hours of the night over the provinces:
La Altagracia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, Duarte, Sánchez Ramírez, Samaná, María Trinidad Sánchez, Espaillat, Hermanas Mirabal, Puerto Plata, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, Azua, San Juan, Peravia, Santiago, Independencia, Bahoruco, Elías Piña, Dajabón, Barahona and El Gran Santo Domingo.
On Tuesday, the tropical wave will be leaving our territory and the trough aloft will begin to weaken, but a new tropical wave currently located east of Puerto Rico will maintain some conditions in our air mass to generate isolated showers in the morning in towns near the northeast and southeast coasts of the country, while in the afternoon, there will be other cloud increases that will leave showers and thunderstorms in provinces such as: Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, San Pedro de Macorís, Duarte, Sánchez Ramírez, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, Azua, San Juan, Peravia, San Cristóbal, Santiago, Elías Piña, Dajabón, Barahona and El Gran Santo Domingo. In the evening, these precipitations will gradually disappear.
The
temperatures will continue to be hot due to the time of year we are in (summer) and the presence of dust from the Sahara desert. Therefore, the recommendation to drink enough fluids, wear light-colored clothing, and seek cool and ventilated places remains. In addition, keep in mind that children and the elderly are more susceptible to the effects of high thermal sensation.
