The forecast of National Meteorological Office (Onamet) calls for a decrease in the frequency and intensity of rainstorms. However, the Dominican weather bureau has maintained flood alerts across 11 provinces.
In its bulletin yesterday, Monday 8 January 2018, Onamet explained that the weather front to the south of Haiti is moving away from the country and another front to the northwest of the island is weakening. However, the high level of humidity in the atmosphere will produce clouds in the northwest, northeast, southeast and Central Mountain Range.
The alert for flooding and the overflowing of rivers and streams as well as landslides is still in place for the provinces of Puerto Plata, Espaillat (especially Gaspar Hernández), María Trinidad Sánchez, Montecristi, Dajabón, Santiago Rodríguez, Valverde, Elías Piña, Santiago, Samaná and Duarte (especially Bajo Yuna).
