Playa Dorada Weather

Playa Dorada Weather - The perfect tropical destination
Because of the year-round sunshine and high temperatures, the Dominican Republic is known as an island which provides an endless summer. Playa Dorada weather therefore provides ideal conditions for a holiday at any time of year. So constant are the temperatures, that the only noticeable difference throughout the year is the slightly differing amounts of rainfall. Like most islands in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic does experience some hurricane activity from the beginning of June until the end of November, with the most prominent activity occurring during August and September.

Weather In Playa Dorada – Summertime is low season
Playa Dorada summers typically fall from May to October, with this time of year providing the most exciting time for a holiday as temperatures regularly reaching the 30s during the day. Moreover, with the increased humidity during the summer months it can often feel much hotter. Despite very little difference in summer and winter temperatures, the summer season is typically the low season for tourism due to increased rainfall. The month of May is when the island sees the most rainfall, which usually comes in short storm bursts followed by sunshine. The annual rainfall amounts to approximately 140cm per year and it should be noted that unexpected showers can often happen anywhere on the island.

Playa Dorada Weather – Winters bring less chance of rainfall
Holidays in Playa Dorada are most popular from December through to April as tourists flock to avoid the colder temperatures back home. At this time of year, increased hotel, resort and restaurant prices do reflect the higher demand, although the weather in Playa Dorada is more agreeable due to the lower humidity and far less chance of rainfall. Differences in temperatures are generally only noticeable in the evenings from November to April as temperatures tend to drop in comparison to the summer months.
