Dominican Republic weather: Trough brings storms as Indomet monitors tropical wave
The Dominican Republic is experiencing weather instability due to a trough, which is expected to trigger moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms, and wind gusts, particularly in the afternoon. Affected areas include the northwest, southeast, and the Cordillera Central, with specific provinces such as Santiago, La Vega, San Juan, and Hato Mayor facing potential precipitation.
In addition to the local trough, the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) is monitoring a tropical wave located off the coast of Africa near the Cape Verde islands. This system shows a significant probability of cyclonic formation, with estimates ranging between 40% and 60% over the next seven days. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Fay is located in the central Atlantic; however, authorities state it poses no threat to the Dominican Republic due to its distance.
Temperatures remain high across the country, with maximums between 33°C and 35°C. Authorities recommend staying hydrated and avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours.
