Currently en República Dominicana — 17 de octobre: Aumento de la nubosidad y las lluvias en RD por vaguada

El tiempo, currently.

En las próximas 24 horas se registrará un aumento de la nubosidad y las precipitaciones en gran parte de República Dominicana: para este martes se espera la cercanía de una vaguada, la cual se desprenderá de un frente frío, que actualmente se desplaza por Cuba.

Será después del mediodía de este martes que empiece a entrar aire más húmedo procedente del Atlántico, por lo que cambiará el patrón meteorológico establecido durante varios días.

Las temperaturas seguirán calurosas durante el día, entre las 10 AM y las 5 PM, pero ya es evidente que el ambiente empieza a refrescarse en las noches y madrugadas por la cercanía de la temporada frontal.

Grist released the latest story in their series — “Uninsured” — which delves into how the climate crisis destabilizes the global insurance market.

The latest installment focuses on how extreme weather and climate change are impacting farmer’s crops and their wallets.

According to reporter Lois Parshley, severe weather cost farmers in the U.S. around $22 billion last year, however only half of that was covered by insurance.

This destabilization impacts farmers, their families, and global food security.
