Santo Domingo.- The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) reported this Sunday that a trough located to the north, with a low potential for cyclonic development, and a large area of low pressure in the southwest of the Caribbean Sea, with a high potential to become tropical depression will continue causing downpours in much of the country.
According to Onamet, the rains will be more intense over Greater Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, San Cristóbal, Puerto Plata, Monte Cristi, Espaillat, among others under the meteorological alert and warning levels.
It is expected that during the afternoon, these precipitations will be more intense, in the form of moderate to heavy downpours and may last until the early hours of the night.
Tomorrow, Monday, both disturbances mentioned above will continue to dominate the weather conditions over the Dominican Republic, therefore moderate to heavy rains will be generated in provinces on the Caribbean coast 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.
In the afternoon, this activity will extend to Santiago, La Vega, Monseñor Nouel, San José de Ocoa, among others.
