San Pedro de Macoris weather forecast - the first step before planning a trip
Unless there is a rare tropical wave or storm in the vicinity, the 300+ day forecast for the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean, in general, is year round ''partly sunny or partly cloudy with a possibility of a brief shower''. Take note that most of the rain occurs at sunrise, late in the afternoon or at night. Thus, you should make sure to pack lots of sunblock and a cap or hat for the sun. As with the weather in general, the difference in temperature of the water varies only slightly year round nationwide. Unless there is a cold front in the area, the average temperature island wide will be around 80-82F (26-27C). Dominicans in the past would stay away from the beaches from November to April (Easter Week), but in recent years the warmer temperatures have extended the beach season year round, even for Dominicans. The Dominican Republic is a big island. It can be all sunny skies on one coast, and raining on another. The drier area of the country is the Southwest (Barahona, Bani and Azua). Next follows the southeastern and eastern coastal areas including Boca Chica, Juan Dolio and La Romana (Bayahibe) and Punta Cana. The wettest area of the country is Samana, followed by Puerto Plata. But these are also the most lush areas. The natural beauty compensates for the day or two of rain. There is a 40% chance, for instance that it could rain for two or three days during your Christmas or New Year's vacation in Samana or Puerto Plata. On the positive side, Puerto Plata has not known a hurricane, yet. Always remember, these are tropical rains that are warm. Strolling in the tropics under warm rain is romantic and lovely, too. The odds are heavily stacked in your favor. If you will be here for a week, chances are that you will have at least four good days. Reality is that the DR gets very few rainy days. And these are usually showers. While these may be hard, they will last a very short time. The exception is if there is a tropical wave or storm in the area. You can check these out on the Internet by visiting any of the links provided in the list below. The satellite picture and the weather forecast from the National Hurricane Center of Miami will tell if there is anything major in the area that could bring a day or two of continuous rains. Note that most Dominicans do not even own an umbrella. When it starts raining, they will just get under an overhang and wait until it stops, knowing they won't be detained very long.
