These precipitations will intensify during the afternoon and early hours of the night, especially affecting towns such as Monte Plata, S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez, Mar\u00eda Trinidad S\u00e1nchez, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, La Vega, Santiago, Santiago Rodr\u00edguez and Dajab\u00f3n.\n\n

This phenomenon presents only a 10% probability of development in the next 48 hours and does not pose a threat to the Dominican Republic.\n\nHeat and recommendations\n\n\n

Summer maintains its mark with high temperatures, Saharan dust and east\/southeast wind, which accentuates the thermal sensation. The Indomet reiterates the need to:
\u2022 Drink enough fluids
\u2022 Wear light-colored clothing
\u2022 Avoid direct sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
\u2022 Seek cool and ventilated places
\u2022 Take special care of children and the elderly<\/p>\n\n\nForecast by areas\n\nNational District and Santo Domingo (North, East, and West):
Increased cloudiness with local showers and possible thunderstorms.\n\nTemperatures:
Minimums between 21\u202f\u00b0C and 23\u202f\u00b0C; maximums between 33\u202f\u00b0C and 35\u202f\u00b0C.\n\nPerspective for Friday\n\nAlthough the tropical wave will have left the forecast area, residual humidity will remain, which, combined with the day’s heating and the wind, will continue to cause local showers and possible thunderstorms in provinces such as Santo Domingo, Monte Plata, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa and La Vega. Saharan dust will continue to be present in the country.\n\nNational District and Santo Domingo: Cloudy with scattered showers and occasional thunderstorms.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
