Subtropical Storm Olga was passing south of Santo Domingo around noon today, on its way westwards to Jamaica. It is expected to bring heavy rains and waves to all Dominican coasts. The rare December phenomenon comes almost two weeks after the Atlantic Hurricane Season ended on November 30th. As it makes its way inland, it is bringing intense rains. Contrary to its October predecessor, Tropical Storm Noel, Olga is moving quicker, and thus expected to bring less rainfall. Major areas near rivers are still saturated by the heavy rainfall from Noel. The Meteorological Office (ONAMET) provided the media with early notification about the storm and the emergency services have started evacuating people who live in vulnerable areas.
