The National Meteorological Office (ONAMET) has announced that the warm weather will continue as the wind is coming from the east southeast, due to a system of high pressure. However, a weather front located to the north east of the country over the Atlantic Ocean will bring thunderstorms.
In the bulletin issued on Monday, 19 March 2018, Onamet maintains its alert for Puerto Plata province, due the ground being already saturated. The heavy rains have led to flooding in the town. Overflowing rivers have brought mudslides.
Onamet urges the population of the area to be aware of the continuing risks as the rains will primarily affect the north, northeast and southeast and part of the Central Mountain area and the Septentrional mountain range.
