SANTO DOMINGO. – The National Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET) forecasts that from the afternoon of Thursday, July 3rd to Saturday, July 5th, 2025, the country will be influenced by a trough at various levels of the troposphere, in combination with daytime heat and orography. This interaction will continue to cause local showers, thunderstorms, and possible wind gusts in specific points of the interior of the country, especially in the afternoon.
During the afternoon and night of this Thursday, rainfall will be concentrated mainly in provinces such as Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Sánchez Ramírez, Duarte, Samaná, María Trinidad Sánchez, Santiago, Santiago Rodríguez, Dajabón and Monte Cristi. In the rest of the national territory, the sky will remain partly cloudy or with a grayish tone due to the presence of African dust.
For Friday, a mixed scenario is expected. During the early morning and early hours of the day, isolated showers could occur in coastal provinces of the Caribbean, such as La Altagracia, El Seibo, Samaná, Barahona, Santo Domingo and San Cristóbal. However, from noon onwards, concentrations of Saharan dust will increase, which, together with the trough and a tropical wave near the area, will favor moderate to heavy rains accompanied by electrical storms and wind gusts in the northwest, north, southwest and border area.
Temperatures will remain hot throughout the country, with highs between "33 °C and 35 °C" in urban areas and lows ranging between "21 °C and 23 °C". Meteorological authorities urge the population to take preventive measures against the heat wave: hydrate frequently, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and take special care of children and the elderly.
As for Saturday, the forecast warns that from early hours there will be showers and thunderstorms in towns on the south and east coast, such as San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, La Altagracia, San Cristóbal and Barahona. During the afternoon, the tropical wave will combine with the trough to intensify the rainfall in provinces of the northeast, southeast, north, Central Mountain Range and border area, gradually decreasing during the night.
The INDOMET recommends staying alert to its updates through official channels and avoiding spreading unverified information about atmospheric phenomena.
