Rains will continue over much of the country, says INDOMET

The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET) reported this Sunday that two meteorological phenomena bring humidity and instability to the Dominican territory.

The trough to the north has a low potential for cyclonic development, and the broad area of low pressure in the southwest of the Caribbean Sea has a high potential to become a tropical depression.

Therefore, a favorable environment continues for morning rains, weak to moderate, with isolated thunderstorms and gusts of wind, over Greater Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, San Cristóbal, Puerto Plata, Monte Cristi, Espaillat, among others under the levels of alert and meteorological warning.

The entity reported that it is expected that during the afternoon, these rains will be more intense, in the form of moderate to heavy downpours, and may last until the early hours of the night.

For tomorrow, Monday, it is forecast that both disturbances mentioned above will continue to dominate the weather conditions over the Dominican Republic. Therefore, in provinces of the Caribbean coast, moderate to heavy rains will be generated during the early morning and morning hours, such as in Pedernales, Barahona, Azua, Peravia, San Cristóbal, Greater Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, and La Altagracia.

This activity is expected to extend over Santiago, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, and San José de Ocoa by the afternoon, among other places.
