Heavy rains recorded on Monday evening caused urban flooding in various parts of Santo Domingo, complicating vehicle transit and leaving several cars and yipetas stranded in flooded streets and avenues. ^[1] The Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) reported on September 1, 2026, that moderate to heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms and wind gusts will continue across much of the Dominican Republic. ^[2] A Diario Libre tour evidenced that affected zones included the Churchill, Sarasota, Luperón, Malecón, Independencia, Kennedy, Defilló, and San Martín avenues, where water accumulations complicated driver displacement. ^[3] The COE stated that rainfall accumulations between 50 and 100 millimeters were expected, with higher values in isolated points, which could generate urban flooding in low-lying areas and transit roads. ^[4] The National Emergency Operations Center (COE) elevated the alert level to yellow for the Peravia province on Monday, while maintaining this level for the Greater Santo Domingo, Monte Plata, and San Cristóbal. ^[5] The Indomet maintains active weather alerts and warnings due to potential river flooding and sudden inundations in isolated and highly vulnerable zones. ^[6] The provinces of La Altagracia, La Romana, El Seibo, Samana, Azua, San Pedro de Macoris, Hato Mayor, San Jose de Ocoa, Santiago Rodriguez, and Valverde remain under meteorological alerts. ^[7] The provinces of the Greater Santo Domingo, San Cristobal, Monte Plata, and Peravia are currently under meteorological warnings. ^[8]
