Dominican

The weather in the Dominican Republic remains tropical year round, with slight variations dividing it into basically two seasons, summer and winter. The average annual temperature is around 25° (77°F). The so-called "cool" season is from November to April, with what is considered pleasantly warm weather, relatively low humidity and low precipitation. On the coast, i.e. near the beaches, the temperature hovers fairly constantly around 29°C (84°F) during the day and drops to around a comfortable 20°C (68°F) at night. However, in the mountainous regions of the interior the weather is always considerably cooler, and on the highest peaks the thermometer sometimes drops below the freezing point and on rare occasions snow can be seen. The more "hot" season is roughly from May to October. Then, the average temperature rises to 31°C (87°F) during the daytime and drops to about 22°C (72°F) at night. However, with the accompanying high humidity that is more common during this season, it usually feels much hotter. It does rain a bit more often during this season, especially from May to August, but usually this turns out to be no more than a 30 minute tropical (sometimes heavy) shower. There are usually also some brief rainy periods during the months of November and December. For more details take a look at the graphs below

Over the last 10 years the Dominican Republic has become the hottest vacation destination in the Caribbean.

The Dominican Republic is quickly becoming one of Canada's hottest getaways and it's not just because of the weather. Winnipeg residents Daryla Christie and Scott Stewart went last year for their honeymoon and liked it so much that this year they brought four friends. "It's really good value, it's not very expensive and I really like how there are so many Canadians here." said Christie, from her beach chair in Cabarete.
