For those living in Santo Domingo, all throughout the morning and for the first half of the afternoon, it was blue sunny skies on Monday, 6 May 2024. In the late afternoon and evening, though, the rains fell hard, causing flooding in some areas of the capital city. Hoy reports that the waters turned the Av. Luperon into \u201can arm of the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Weather Office (Onamet) is forecasting more rains as another trough moves west over the Dominican Republic. Weather has alternated between sunny skies alternating with intense rains, product of the humidity and instability associated with the passing weather systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onamet forecasts more rains for La Altagracia, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Saman\u00e1 and Mar\u00eda Trinidad S\u00e1nchez, especially in the afternoon. The downpours, thunderstorms and gusts of wind can be expected to impact the northeast, east, southeast, Central Mountain Range and areas on the border with Haiti. Onamet particularly alerts people living in the provinces of Monte Plata, S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez (Cotui), Duarte (San Francisco de Macoris), Monse\u00f1or Nouel (Bonao), La Vega, Santiago, El\u00edas Pi\u00f1a, San Juan, San Crist\u00f3bal, and in Greater Santo Domingo to take precautions for flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trough will continue to affect the country on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather forecaster Jean Suriel reports a respite for the weekend. Yet, for the most of May, rains are forecast. Onamet director Gloria Ceballos says that rains in the first five days of May have exceeded the normal values for the month in Cabrera, R\u00edo San Juan and Luperon on the north coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Center for Emergency Operations (COE) has issued yellow alerts for 17 provinces — Duarte, La Romana, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, Santo Domingo, National District, Monte Plata, La Altagracia, Saman\u00e1, El Seibo, San Crist\u00f3bal, S\u00e1nchez Ram\u00edrez, Monse\u00f1or Nouel, San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa, Puerto Plata, Espaillat, La Vega, Santiago, Santiago Rodr\u00edguez, Dajab\u00f3n, Monte Cristi, Azua, San Juan and El\u00edas Pi\u00f1a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Center for Emergency Operations reports that the heavy rains forced 790 persons to evacuate to safe areas, 158 houses and 20 aqueducts were impacted. 20 persons were rescued in Jarabacoa and so far there are 20 communities incommunicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Dajab\u00f3n, the waters of the Dajab\u00f3n River were replenished by the rains and the La Vigia water pump system was not needed for farmers to receive water for their crops. The water pump system was installed after business people in Haiti diverted the waters of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
