SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013<\/strong> The Dominican Republic will continue under the effects of an anticyclonic system and a mass of air laden with Saharan dust, conditions that significantly limit cloud formation and reduce the possibilities of significant rainfall in most of the country, the national meteorological agency reported this Monday.<\/p>\n\n\nThese conditions have kept the skies mostly clear and hazy, with maximum temperatures ranging between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius<\/strong>, and minimums between 21 and 23 degrees<\/strong>, raising the thermal sensation, especially in urban and inland areas.\n\n\n

Local showers and isolated thunderstorms in specific regions<\/h3>\n\n\nDespite the dominance of dry air, the east\/southeast wind in combination with daytime heating and local orography, could generate isolated and spaced showers<\/strong>, with some thunderstorms and wind gusts at the end of the afternoon and early evening. These conditions could occur over sectors of Santiago Rodr\u00edguez, Valverde, Dajab\u00f3n, Monte Cristi, Monte Plata, Hato Mayor and S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez<\/strong>, among other locations.\n\n\n

Recommendations for the heat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given the high temperatures and the persistence of Saharan dust, the authorities recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Drink enough water during the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Wear light-colored and light clothing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pay special attention to children, the elderly, and people with heat-sensitive health conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Outlook for Tuesday and Wednesday<\/h3>\n\n\nFor this Tuesday<\/strong>, similar conditions are expected in the morning, with little cloud cover and little change in temperatures. However, in the afternoon passing showers and scattered thunderstorms<\/strong> could be recorded over points of the southeast, Central Mountain Range and the border area<\/strong>, as a result of local factors.\n\nOn Wednesday<\/strong>, however, a slight variation is anticipated due to the approach of a weak trough<\/strong>, which would cause cloud cover increases with local rains and possible thunderstorms over provinces such as La Altagracia, La Romana, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, San Crist\u00f3bal, Saman\u00e1, Monte Plata, La Vega, Santiago, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa, Azua and San Juan<\/strong>.\n\n\n

    Weather by regions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • National District and Santo Domingo<\/strong>: mostly sunny and grayish sky, with high thermal sensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • North Zone<\/strong> (Santiago, Monte Cristi, Puerto Plata): sky between clear and partly cloudy, with sporadic showers in isolated points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • East and Southeast Region<\/strong>: hot weather, little cloudiness, mostly dry conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • South and Southwest Region<\/strong>: clear sky, with high solar radiation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Central Mountain Range<\/strong>: partial cloudiness in the afternoon with possible local rains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nSummary<\/strong>: The anticyclonic system, along with Saharan dust particles, will continue to limit significant rainfall in much of the country. Hot temperatures, hazy skies, and only a few isolated showers are expected in mountainous and border regions. The population should stay hydrated and protected from extreme heat.\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
