While this is probably not news to many people, it has been sometime since the National Meteorological Office (Onamet) has issued a heat warning. While there are possibilities for showers across much of the country, Onamet is forecasting temperatures between 33°C and 35°C (91°F – 95°F) for today and possibly into Thursday, 14 September 2017.
The hottest areas will be around Santo Domingo and Onamet says that Hato Mayor, Monte Plata, Maria Trinidad Sanchez (Nagua), Samana, Duarte (San Francisco de Macorís), Santiago, La Vega, Monsignor Nouel (Bonao), San Cristobal, San Jose de Ocoa, Santiago Rodriguez and Dajabon will probably have scattered showers because of a low pressure trough across the region.
According to forecaster Enmanuel Alvarez, Santo Domingo will probably have some scattered clouds and some rain, and in spite of this temperatures will remain high. Onamet also said that hurricane José does not present any danger for the Dominican Republic. Because of large waves, small craft warnings have been issued for the northern coasts.
