Weekend without rain and a lot of heat

Santo Domingo – Everything will remain unchanged from the weather over the weekend, according to the National Meteorological Office, which indicates that a sunny environment will stay with little rainfall due to the incidence of a high-pressure system.

“However, the local effects and the east/southeast wind, in the afternoon, will cause isolated showers in the northeast region and the Central mountain range,” the office says.

For tomorrow, Sunday, election day, it forecasts that early there will be many hours of radiant sunshine with few downpours and that in the afternoon, very isolated showers may occur, especially to the northeast and the Central Mountain Range, due to the combination of the prevailing east/southeast wind with the daily and orographic heating. Temperatures will continue to be hot due to the warm and humid wind from the east/southeast, for this reason it recommends the population to drink enough fluids, wear light colored clothing, avoid exposure to the sun without proper protection for long periods from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

He said that yesterday only due to the local effects, in addition to the east wind, there were isolated showers of short duration towards Hato Mayor, El Seibo, Monsignor Nouel, La Vega and Pedernales. In the other villages, there is a shortage.

Thus, the lack of rain returns after weeks of deluge.
