Rainy conditions are expected to persist throughout Sunday and continue into the start of the work week, mainly affecting the southeast and northeast regions and the communities of the Central Mountain Range.

Forecast for the start of the week and impact on sports activities
The weather outlook will begin to show a notable improvement starting mid-week. According to forecasts, the intensity and frequency of rainfall will decrease between Wednesday and Thursday thanks to the arrival of an anticyclonic circulation that will favor greater atmospheric stability throughout the country.
This change in weather conditions generates optimism for outdoor activities, including the long-awaited start of the winter baseball season. Specialists point out that Friday could present a more favorable environment for the sports day, although necessary caution is maintained due to the climatic nature of the month of October.
- October remains one of the months with the highest rainfall activity in the Dominican Republic.
- Climatic stability is expected by the end of next work week.
- The population is urged to follow constant updates from Indomet to prevent incidents in the face of possible sudden changes in the weather.
