Santo Domingo. - The Directorate of the Emergency Operations Center (COE) reports that, according to today's maritime bulletin from the Dominican Institute of Meteorology “INDOMET”, which establishes that the waves have returned to normal on the North Coast of the country. By virtue of the foregoing, the COE discontinues the restriction on the Atlantic Coast, for all types of vessels, as well as for water sports.
Meanwhile, from the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET), during the morning, widely isolated showers are expected associated with the transport of humidity by the southeast wind blowing over the country, generated by the distant effects of hurricane ERIN, these precipitations would be observed in towns near the South coast, such as: La Altagracia, San Pedro de Macorís and Barahona. In the afternoon, as a consequence of the afternoon heat and a weak tropical wave that will approach our area, it is expected that some cloud increases will occur, which will give rise to isolated showers, thunderstorms and possible wind gusts, in provinces such as: Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, La Vega, Santiago Rodríguez, Dajabón, Monte Cristi and Valverde, until the early hours of the night.
On Thursday, the moisture content will be limited in our air mass, due to the effects of a high-pressure system in the North Atlantic, generating relatively stable conditions in several regions of the country. The precipitation that occurs will be generated by the effects associated with the diurnal cycle, with isolated showers and possible thunderstorms expected in towns in the northwest, northeast and the Central mountain range, which will disappear at the beginning of the night.
Temperatures will remain quite hot, due to the southeast wind blowing over our territory, as well as the time of year and concentration of dust from the Sahara desert, which will increase starting today. Therefore, it is important to stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothing, and not be directly exposed to solar radiation, especially during the period of greatest insolation (11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.).
