The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) has issued a weather forecast indicating predominantly sunny conditions across most of the Dominican Republic during the morning hours. However, the afternoon is expected to bring a shift in weather patterns due to local atmospheric effects, wind activity, and the indirect influence of a trough. Scattered showers, occasionally moderate, are predicted to occur along the Caribbean coast, accompanied by isolated thunderstorms and potential wind gusts. Affected provinces include La Altagracia, La Romana, San Pedro de Macorís, San Cristóbal, Peravia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Duarte, Azua, La Vega, Santiago, San Juan, Elías Piña, and Dajabón. These rainfalls are anticipated to persist into the night, particularly in the municipalities of Greater Santo Domingo, Barahona, and Santiago Rodríguez. In Greater Santo Domingo, the afternoon will feature scattered clouds and intermittent showers, with temperatures ranging from a minimum of 21°C to 23°C and a maximum of 30°C to 32°C.
Heavy rain is forecast for much of the country this Saturday afternoon.
