The weather statistics displayed here represent the mean value of each meteorological parameter for each month of the year. The sampling period for this data covers 30 years from 1961 to 1990. I have been in Jarabacoa in February and March and the weather was great but at 0500 AM It was definately cold enough to want blankets on the bed, and wear a light coat at night. As you can see from the chart January is usually not too wet, about 91 mm(3 1/2 inches) for the month.
Thanks Bob.
Your graph illustrates perfectly the point I wanted to make, and that's that there is no rainy season in this country.
Not in the mountains, not in the North, not in the South.
It's a fig Newton of people's imaginations.
Whenever it rains at a lot, they say it's the rainy season.
For it to be classified a rainy season, it would have to happen every year at the approx. same time, and be radically different to the dry season.
