The Dominican Republic is returning to normalcy. The Emergency Operations Center (COE) officially has discontinued the green alert for rains across the remaining four provinces, a precaution that had been in place for two weeks amid intense precipitation, Diario Libre reports.
COE director Juan Manuel Méndez announced Tuesday, 4 November 2025 that improved weather conditions have allowed the lifting of the weather alert, which was initially issued due to the threat of overflowing rivers, streams, and sudden flooding.
The last provinces to be removed from green alert status are Monte Plata, Barahona, Peravia, and San Cristóbal. Méndez confirmed that climate conditions have stabilized in these areas.
In a further move toward full operational status, the COE also lifted all restrictions on the country’s coasts. Based on a marine report from the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet), conditions have significantly improved in both the Caribbean and Atlantic waters.
This change immediately discontinues all advisories that had affected boat operations. The COE confirmed that, effective immediately, all coasts of the Dominican Republic are fully operable for vessels of all sizes—small, medium, and large.
Despite the current de-escalation, the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) has forecast rainfall for Wednesday. Forecaster Wagner Rivera indicated that a system north of the country and another near Puerto Rico are expected to trigger precipitation in the southeast and southwest regions.
By Wednesday afternoon, the heavier showers and thunderstorms are expected to concentrate over the provinces of Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macorís, and Monseñor Nouel.
