Scattered showers are forecast with easterly winds and local effects

Santo Domingo. - Although a sky with little cloud cover will predominate in the morning hours over a large part of the country due to the effects of the high-pressure system, since dawn, scattered showers have been recorded towards the coasts of San Cristóbal, La Altagracia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Samaná, María Trinidad Sánchez and Espaillat, according to the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET). This rainy activity, produced by the east wind and local effects, will persist during the morning and, in the afternoon, will extend to other provinces such as Duarte, Hermanas Mirabal, Monte Plata, sectors of Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, Monseñor Nouel, La Vega and Puerto Plata, prevailing over the Cibao during the night hours.
