When will the cold weather begin in the Dominican Republic? An expert explains what will happen in November.

As October draws to a close, the Dominican Republic is beginning to bid farewell to the year’s hottest period, with cooler nights and earlier mornings ahead in the coming months, according to meteorological analyst Jean Suriel.

The specialist noted that August, September, and October are the three months with extremely hot, stifling temperatures in the Dominican Republic.

However, starting in November, pleasant nighttime conditions will become more frequent, especially in mountainous communities and in the Cibao region.

“October is coming to an end, and with it, the period of extreme temperatures in the Dominican Republic is ending,” Suriel stated on social media.

The analyst clarified that this does not mean the heat will disappear completely, given the country’s tropical climate.

When will the cold start to set in?

According to Suriel, over the next five months, cooler temperatures will be recorded more frequently in various parts of the country.

The temperature drop will be most noticeable at night and early in the morning, mainly in mountainous areas and the Cibao region.

However, warm conditions will continue to prevail during the day, especially between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The specialist explained that this is due to solar radiation and the influence of winds coming from the east-southeast.

Therefore, although the early mornings will begin to feel cooler, daytime temperatures could still be high.

Trough Will Bring Moderate to Heavy Rain

In addition to the gradual change in temperature conditions, Suriel warned of a persistent trough located north of the Caribbean.

This atmospheric phenomenon will continue to generate moderate to heavy rainfall, accompanied by wind gusts in various regions of the country.

According to his forecast, rains will concentrate mainly in the north, northeast, the Cordillera Central, the northwest, and some communities in the southern region on Friday afternoon.

The analyst urged people to pay special attention to the provinces where heavier downpours could occur.

Provinces Where Rain Is Expected

Suriel identified La Altagracia, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Peravia, San José de Ocoa, Barahona, Azua, San Juan, Elías Piña, La Vega, Duarte, Monseñor Nouel, Samaná, and Greater Santo Domingo.

He also mentioned Sánchez Ramírez, Puerto Plata, Valverde, and Santiago Rodríguez.

Gusty winds may accompany the rainfall, so the public is advised to stay tuned to official bulletins and monitor weather conditions in their areas.

What will the weather be like this Saturday?

For Saturday, October 31, Suriel forecasts partly cloudy skies across much of the country.

However, around noon, showers will begin to increase in the eastern and northeastern regions.

In the afternoon, rainfall could spread to other parts of the country because atmospheric conditions favorable for rain formation will persist.

The specialist noted that the trough will continue to influence weather patterns, so conditions may vary from one location to another.

November Will Bring More Pleasant Weather

With the start of November, the Dominican Republic will enter a time of year when temperatures are typically more pleasant, particularly at night.

Residents of mountainous areas and the Cibao region will feel this change most acutely, according to Suriel’s forecast.

However, the specialist emphasized that high daytime temperatures will not disappear because of the country’s geographic location.

Thus, while the Dominican Republic begins to bid farewell to the year’s most stifling heat, rain will continue to play a major role during the final days of October, as a trough maintains atmospheric instability.
