Punta Cana, Dominican Republic – This Thursday began with cloudy skies, heavy showers, and scattered thunderstorms in Punta Cana, weather conditions that are expected to persist at intervals throughout the day.
According to the latest Caribbean weather reports, temperatures are ranging between 25°C and 29°C, keeping the area’s signature tropical warmth, though high humidity levels are amplifying the heat index and making conditions feel warmer.
Unstable Weather Brings Safety Advisories
Rainfall has been reported in sporadic bursts, with the heaviest downpours observed during mid-morning and likely to return in the late afternoon. These episodes could cause localized flooding or the formation of large puddles in areas with limited drainage capacity.
Local authorities have urged both residents and tourists to exercise caution, particularly when driving on wet roads or engaging in outdoor activities. Visitors are also advised to stay away from beaches and open spaces during lightning storms to avoid risks.
Typical of the Caribbean Hurricane Season
Meteorologists explained that this weather pattern reflects the active Atlantic hurricane season, which typically lasts until November and brings an increase in rains, thunderstorms, and unstable atmospheric conditions across the Caribbean.
Tourism Adjusts but Continues
Despite the adverse weather, there are still windows of calmer conditions that allow some tourist activities to proceed, though tour operators are recommending that travelers check real-time weather updates before making plans in order to prioritize safety.
