SANTO DOMINGO. The Emergency Operations Center (COE) placed four provinces and the National District on green alert, due to the approach of a trough, abundant humidity and local effects that will favor an increase in cloud cover.
The localities under alert are San Cristóbal, Monseñor Nouel, Monte Plata, Santo Domingo and the National District.
According to the agency, these conditions will cause showers that could intensify into locally moderate downpours, accompanied by thunderstorms and gusts of wind, mainly during the afternoon and early evening.
COE Recommendations
Given this situation, the COE recommended that citizens refrain from crossing rivers, streams and ravines with high volumes of water, as well as avoid using resorts located in the provinces under alert.
The agency urged the public to stay tuned to official bulletins and follow the guidance of the authorities in the event of possible changes in weather conditions.
