Best time to visit Dominican Republic

December to February is the best time to visit the Dominican Republic. During these months, winters hit the country and touring around the places gets comfortable. The best part is, although it’s termed as the peak season, you won’t find it hard to find a place in a hotel on the spot. The country always enjoys a warm climatic condition and hence, it’s quite a popular travel destination from all over the globe. The spectacular beaches lined with coconut trees, the tropical scenery around, and the mild & warm seawater make it popular amongst travellers.

The temperature fluctuates between 25 degrees C to 28 degrees C in summers, which is from May-July. During these months, the climate gets hot and humid. During the wet months of August and September, Dominican Republic receives an average rainfall of 2500 mm, especially in the mountain parts. To avoid such heavy rain, if you travel during these months, try to keep closer to the coastline. Always keep in mind that the Dominican Republic is situated in the centre of the Caribbean hurricane belt and hence, in every decade, it gets hit by a significant storm. So, August and September are the major hurricane seasons in the country.
