The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) announced that a trough in the middle and upper levels of the troposphere, combined with daytime heating, will favor the development of intense showers, thunderstorms, locally strong wind gusts, and hail in several areas of the country during Wednesday afternoon. According to the agency, the effects will be felt mainly in the eastern plain, the Central mountain range, and the southwest and northwest regions.
Areas with greatest risk
Indomet indicated that the provinces of Barahona, Pedernales, Sánchez Ramírez, Monseñor Nouel, Dajabón, Puerto Plata, Espaillat, La Altagracia, Santiago Rodríguez, La Vega, Santiago, Elías Piña, Valverde and Monte Cristi could experience the highest incidence of showers and storms. Additionally, the weather alert will remain at a low level in La Vega, Santiago, Puerto Plata, Monte Plata and Valverde due to the possibility of sudden urban and rural flooding.
Temperatures in the country
Indomet forecasts that temperatures will remain hot, with highs between 31 °C and 35 °C across much of the national territory. The population is advised to drink enough water, wear light, loose, light‑colored clothing, avoid direct sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and stay in cool, ventilated places. Children, the elderly and pregnant women are especially vulnerable to the effects of high temperatures and should receive special attention.
Maritime conditions
Along the coasts, conditions remain normal, but Indomet recommended that vessel operators on the Caribbean coastal shoreline navigate with caution due to reduced visibility from showers, thunderclaps and wind gusts. The public is urged to stay attentive to weather information broadcast by Indomet’s official channels and to follow the guidance of civil protection agencies.
