In the afternoon, the daytime heating, orographic effects and the east wind could generate slight cloud increases with short-lived rains in San Crist\u00f3bal, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa and La Vega.\n\nIn addition, a tropical wave will be approaching the country, although its greatest rainfall activity will be concentrated over the waters of the Caribbean Sea, without significant direct impact on the territory.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Forecast for Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nFor tomorrow, Friday, Indomet indicated that a new upper-level trough, in combination with local effects and a wind shift to the east\/northeast, will cause cloud cover increases with passing showers during the morning in areas such as La Altagracia, El Se\u00edbo, Hato Mayor, Mar\u00eda Trinidad S\u00e1nchez, Saman\u00e1, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds and La Romana.\n\nIn the afternoon, rainfall will spread dispersedly towards Monte Plata, sectors of Gran Santo Domingo, Peravia, San Crist\u00f3bal, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez and La Vega, with a low probability of electrical storms and wind gusts.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Saharan Dust and Heat Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nThe Saharan dust layer will persist over the country during the weekend, maintaining a hazy and dry environment, with reduced visibility in some areas. Temperatures will continue to be high, with maximum values between 33\u202f\u00b0C and 35\u202f\u00b0C, and minimums between 21\u202f\u00b0C and 23\u202f\u00b0C, mainly in urban and inland areas.\n\nGiven the hot conditions, authorities recommend:\n\u2022 Drink enough fluids\n\u2022 Wear light and light-colored clothing\n\u2022 Avoid sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.\n\u2022 Use sunscreen\n\u2022 Pay special attention to children and the elderly, as they are more vulnerable to the heat\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maritime Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nRegarding the state of the sea, abnormal waves and winds are reported in sectors of both coasts:\n\u2022 Atlantic: From Cabo San Rafael (La Altagracia) to Cabo Cabr\u00f3n (Saman\u00e1), fragile, small and medium-sized vessels are recommended to remain in port.\n\u2022 Caribbean: From Cayo Pisaje (Barahona) to Cabo Beata (Pedernales), the same recommendation is maintained.\n\u2022 In the rest of the coastal area, it is advised to navigate with caution and not venture out to sea.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cyclonic Surveillance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nIndomet also reported an area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure in the North-Central Gulf of Mexico, with only a 10% chance of cyclonic development in 48 hours. The system does not pose a threat to the Dominican Republic due to its position and trajectory.\n\n<strong>Weather in Greater Santo Domingo<\/strong><br>\u2022 National District: Isolated clouds, sunny and hot<br>\u2022 Santo Domingo North, East and West: Few clouds, sunny and hot environment\n\nIndomet will continue to monitor atmospheric conditions and urges the population to stay informed through its official channels.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo, RD. \u2013 The Dominican Republic&#8217;s Meteorology Institute (Indomet) reported that no significant changes in weather conditions are expected this Thursday across most of the national territory, due to a decrease in humidity in the air mass and the presence of Saharan dust, which will limit rainfall.
