Saharan dust particles and heat dominate the climate in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is experiencing a weather pattern dominated by Saharan dust particles and high temperatures, according to the Instituto Dominicano de Meteorología (Indomet). For Sunday morning, meteorologists report that the combination of moderate concentrations of Saharan dust and heat will create a sunny yet grayish and opaque sky across the country.

The meteorological agency continues to monitor these atmospheric conditions as they influence daily weather and visibility in the region. The persistent presence of the dust plume, paired with elevated temperatures, shapes current environmental conditions for residents throughout the Dominican Republic.
