The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) is forecasting for cloudy skies accompanied by scattered showers and isolated thunder and lightning for Thursday, 24 May 2018. This is due to tropical wave that is slightly increasing humidity and atmospheric instability across the country.
Because of the rains in recent days and those that are expected over the next 48 hours, Onamet is maintaining a meteorological alert over possible flooding of rivers and streams.
The humidity and general instability are caused by a low pressure trough located to the north. The forecast is for cloudy skies accompanied by moderate to heavy showers, some electrical storms and stiff breezes principally in the Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and along the frontier and in the central mountains.
Onamet is keeping an eye on a broad area of clouds and water showers to the Northwest of the Caribbean Sea and Cuba that is associated with a low pressure area. Because of high temperatures, Onamet continues to recommend people wear light clothing and drink plenty of water.
