On Sunday, the incidence of an air mass with lower moisture content will cause mostly dry conditions in a large part of the national territory, with rainfall limited to some very isolated showers in mountainous areas. Regarding temperatures, they will remain cool for the next two days, due to the presence of a moderate east and east-northeast wind, which will also be responsible for the rains expected for Saturday. It is also recommended that operators of fragile, small and medium-sized vessels on the northeast Atlantic coast and the southwest Caribbean coast take precautions, as the swell offshore will be increasing in those areas.
