Santo Domingo. - According to the Dominican Republic's Meteorology Institute (INDOMET), this Tuesday the country will continue under the concentrations of Saharan dust particles, for this reason, a mostly sunny sky will prevail in the morning over a large part of the country. However, after midday, some local showers and downpours, isolated thunderstorms and possible wind gusts will be generated, mainly in different towns of La Vega, Monte Plata, San Juan and Elías Piña as a consequence of the wind's drag, daytime heating and the incidence of the trough aloft.
Cyclonic activity in the Atlantic basin, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A tropical wave currently located west of the African coast has a 10% probability of reaching tropical cyclone status in the next 48 hours, and for the next 7 days it maintains a low probability (around 50%) of reaching tropical cyclone status. Due to its geographical position, we are monitoring the evolution and development of this meteorological system.
National District: hot temperatures. Little cloudiness.
Santo Domingo Norte: scattered clouds. Hot temperatures.
Santo Domingo Este: few clouds. Hot temperatures.
Santo Domingo Oeste: isolated cloudiness. Hot temperatures.
Temperatures: the minimum will be between 22 °C and 24 °C and the maximum between 33 °C and 35 °C.
Summary: Due to the incidence of a trough and the local effects of the orography of the national territory, cloud cover generating locally moderate showers, thunderstorms, and isolated wind gusts will continue to develop until the early hours of tonight over different provinces of the country, mainly those located towards the interior of the country. On the other hand, we are monitoring an active tropical wave located south/southeast of the Cape Verde islands. Meanwhile, another tropical wave is approaching the Lesser Antilles arc.
On Wednesday, scattered clouds over a large part of the country. However, a trough will continue to generate cloud increases accompanied by scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms and possible wind gusts in different coastal locations of the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea, with said precipitations being more frequent and stronger over several provinces of the northeast, northwest, Cibao Valley, the Central Mountain Range and the border area, with a tendency to gradually decrease during the night.
