Santo Domingo. - According to the Dominican Republic's Meteorology Institute (INDOMET), this Saturday the hot temperatures continue in the country, while from the early hours of the morning we will observe a sky with scattered to partly cloudy skies with scarce rainfall.
However, in the afternoon and early evening hours, cloud concentrations generating moderate to heavy showers with electrical storms, wind gusts, and possible hail will be present, especially towards La Altagracia, Hato Mayor, El Seibo, Samaná, and María Trinidad Sánchez.
Santo Domingo, Monte Plata, La Vega, Azua, Santiago, Santiago Rodríguez, Elías Piña, San Juan, Dajabón, Valverde, Monseñor Nouel, Sánchez Ramírez, Puerto Plata and Espaillat, as a result of the incidence of a trough in the upper levels of the troposphere and the local effects of diurnal and orographic heating.
For tomorrow Sunday, the trough will have left our forecast area, giving way to the incidence of an anticyclonic system that will begin to decrease the rains in a large part of the country, observing a rather warm environment. However, due to daytime heating and the interaction of the wind with the orography, showers, thunderstorms and wind gusts will be generated towards provinces of the northwest, the Central Mountain Range and the border area in the afternoon.
Cyclonic activity in the Atlantic basin, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A tropical wave is forecast to emerge off the west coast of Africa this Sunday. It will encounter some conditions to develop slowly as it transits through the waters of the Central Atlantic next week. There is a 30% probability in the next 7 days of becoming a tropical cyclone.
Summer is the time of year when temperatures are hottest, in this sense from INDOMET we urge the population to drink enough fluids to maintain hydration, wear light-colored clothing, seek cool and ventilated places, avoid periods of greatest sun exposure without protection between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. In addition, keep in mind that children and the elderly are more susceptible to suffering the effects of these high temperatures.
National District: scattered clouds with cloud increases and showers with thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Santo Domingo Norte: partly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Santo Domingo Este: increased cloudiness in the afternoon with showers and thunderstorms.
Santo Domingo Oeste: Cloudy increases in the afternoon with showers and thunderstorms.
Temperatures: the minimum will be between 22 °C and 24 °C and the maximum between 33 °C and 35 °C.
Summary: Moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms, possible hail and wind gusts until the early hours of the night inland. Hot temperatures… Normal waves on all coasts of the country.
On Monday, a tropical wave will be approaching our territory, which, when interacting with local effects, will cause cloud cover increases so that locally moderate to heavy showers with thunderstorms and occasional wind gusts occur, especially towards the northeast, southeast, central mountain range and the border area.
