Indomet forecasts rain in several provinces during Christmas Eve

They maintain restrictions on the Atlantic coast

Santo Domingo.– The Dominican Republic Meteorology Institute (Indomet), reported that this Wednesday, December 24, during Christmas Eve, rains will continue in different provinces of the country, due to the northeast wind flow that drags cloudy fields associated with the remnants of a frontal system located north of the national territory.

According to the agency, these conditions maintain a sky with medium cloud cover to cloudy in locations on the Atlantic coast, the Cibao Valley, and the Central Mountain Range, generating scattered showers that could be moderate to heavy in isolated areas, accompanied by wind gusts. Among the most affected provinces are Monte Cristi, Puerto Plata, Santiago, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, Duarte, Sánchez Ramírez, Hermanas Mirabal, Espaillat, María Trinidad Sánchez, Samaná, San Cristóbal, Hato Mayor, El Seibo and La Altagracia, among others. Indomet indicated that during the rest of the morning and in the afternoon, these rains will move towards areas of the southeast, including Monte Plata, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, Barahona, Peravia, Azua, Pedernales and Greater Santo Domingo, where they could extend until nightfall. For tomorrow, Thursday, occasional cloudiness with weak to moderate rainfall is expected during the early morning in provinces of the north coast, the Cibao and the Central Mountain Range. In the morning and afternoon hours, the rainfall will be more isolated and of less intensity in locations such as Monte Plata, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, Barahona and Greater Santo Domingo.

Regarding maritime conditions, Indomet maintains the recommendation for fragile, small, and medium-sized vessels to remain in port on the Atlantic coast, from Cabo Engaño, in La Altagracia, to Manzanillo Bay, in Monte Cristi, due to accelerated winds and dangerous waves. On the Caribbean coast, these restrictions were discontinued. The temperatures will remain pleasant, becoming cool during the night and early morning, especially in mountainous areas and valleys in the interior of the country, where fogs and mists could also be recorded. The minimums will range between 20 °C and 22 °C, while the maximums will be between 29 °C and 31 °C. For Friday, the agency predicts that the northeast wind will continue to affect the weather conditions, causing scattered showers during the day and night on the north coast, the northeast, the Cibao Valley, and the Central Mountain Range. In the National District and Greater Santo Domingo, cloud cover increases are expected in the afternoon with isolated to scattered showers.
