The country will experience rains accompanied by thunder and lightening today, caused by the approach of a trough of low pressure that is moving westwards. The effects of the atmospheric phenomenon will be mostly felt in the northeast, southeast and the Central Mountain Range. A report from the National Meteorological Office (Onamet) says that last night the low was located just east of the Lesser Antilles. Onamet said that the thunderstorms and strong winds would continue to be influenced by the low as well as cloud cover over much of the Caribbean. As a result, the meteorological conditions would continue under the effects of the humidity provided by the predominant winds from the east-southeast and the clouds and rains located to the southeast over the waters of the Caribbean. Onamet issued a special warning for residents of Pedernales, Barahona, Independencia, Azua and Peravia (Bani) to be on the lookout for sudden rains.
