The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) has forecast that the rains will continue due to a tropical wave moving over from Haiti, a low presssure in the north of the country and a front moving over the Canal del Viento.
The thunderstorms are affecting the north, northeast, northwest and southeast and the central mountain area.
The rains are more likely to occur in the late afternoon.
Onamet also warned of an area of low pressure to the north of the country that has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical storm in the next 48 hours.
