The Dominican Institute of Meteorology forecast maximum temperatures between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius, although the “feels-like” temperature could be higher due to the combination of seasonal heat and the concentration of Saharan dust particles over the national territory.

  In addition to the hot conditions, a tropical wave will bring isolated rains during the morning in the country’s eastern provinces and, in the afternoon, in parts of Greater Santo Domingo and other central locations.

  Given these conditions, the agency advised the public to stay properly hydrated, wear light, light-colored clothing, remain in cool areas, and avoid prolonged sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. local time.

  For July xx 13th, the forecast points that a trough will increase moisture levels over the country, favoring local rains before noon and more frequent showers during the afternoon in several southern and central provinces, as well as in Greater Santo Domingo.
