Spring has now begun in the northern hemisphere, and temperatures will start to increase and so will the hours of daylight.
Spring will last until June 22, and it is now the time for most of the basic staples, fruit trees and vegetables to be planted, ready for the arrival of the rainy season.
In the Dominican Republic, according to the National Meteorological Office (Onamet) March is traditionally the driest month in the year.
However, spring also causes an increase in rhinitis, asthma and allergies as the pollen count increases.
