The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) says that the weather pattern will continue with a combination of humidity caused by the east winds and the incidence of the local effects such as the daily warming of the earth. Both atmospheric conditions will lead to localized rainfall in the northeast, southeast and in the Central Mountains. At the same time high wave activity in the ocean has led Onamet to advise sailors of small craft to stay close to shore. Santo Domingo and the surrounding area can expect to be partly cloudy and with showers this afternoon.
