According to the National Meteorological Office (Onamet), temperatures between 33 and 35°C (between 91 and 95°F) will continue for most of the country, and there is little possibility of rain. Onamet also announced on Wednesday, 4 July 2018, that a low-pressure area has about a 30% possibility of becoming the first tropical cyclone to arrive here from the waters off of the western coast of African.
Onamet also said that the current lack of rain is due to a high pressure area at the medium and high levels of the atmosphere and this interferes with cloud formation.
Nonetheless, some showers might fall in Santiago, La Vega, Peravia, San Cristobal, Azua, San Juan de la Maguana, says the weather forecaster Felix Rodriguez. The low-pressure area off the coast of Africa lies to the west -southwest of the Cape Verde islands and is moving west.
