Indomet forecasts isolated showers and sweltering heat for this Saturday

Santo Domingo.– The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) reported that for this Saturday a mostly sunny sky is expected but with a grayish appearance in a large part of the country, due to the incursion of a light layer of Saharan dust. However, in the morning some local showers could occur in towns such as Barahona, San Cristóbal, Santo Domingo and San Pedro de Macorís.

During the afternoon, atmospheric conditions could vary in provinces of the North Cibao and Northwest, such as Monte Cristi, Dajabón, Valverde, Santiago Rodríguez, Puerto Plata and Santiago, where local showers accompanied by isolated thunderstorms and wind gusts are expected. These precipitations will be associated with the dragging of humidity by the south/southeast wind and the influence of a weak trough in the upper levels of the troposphere.

Indomet warned that temperatures will remain hot, with a thermal sensation even higher. The population is advised to drink plenty of water, wear light-colored clothing, and avoid prolonged sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Children and the elderly are the most vulnerable groups to these conditions.

Looking ahead to Sunday, June 1st, the hurricane season officially begins in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of America (formerly the Gulf of Mexico), and the Caribbean Sea. Forecasts indicate an active season, with an estimated formation of between 13 and 19 tropical storms, of which between 6 and 10 could become hurricanes, and between 3 and 5 would reach major category.

Despite this context, the weather conditions for Sunday will be mostly stable in the Dominican Republic, favoring outdoor activities. A sunny and hazy sky is expected, with the presence of Saharan dust particles and the influence of an anticyclonic system. Only isolated showers with thunderstorms are anticipated in sectors such as Monte Cristi, Dajabón, Santiago Rodríguez, and Valverde.

Forecast by zones:

  • Distrito Nacional and municipalities of Santo Domingo (North, East, and West): isolated morning showers. In the afternoon, sunny sky with a grayish appearance.
  • Temperatures: minimums between 21 °C and 23 °C; maximums between 32 °C and 34 °C.
