Leaving for a 10 day trip to Bavaro Princess Hotel on Friday. 10 day forecast shows rain, rain, cloudy, rain etc. etc. Am I going in the rainy season? Should I cancel plans? Don't want to vacation for 10 days in rainy weather. No one mentions rain in the all the forums I have visited to get info. Help!

Rain in Punta Cana
forecast always says it's going to rain...it may at night or a bit during the day but rarely has it rained all day. I just got back and had a similar forecast...it rained one morning for about 10 minutes and one night for about the same. It might be a bit overcast but that's usually the extent of it.

Guess what? It is raining now, first day of on and off showers throughout an afternoon. It has been dry here, need some of God's fertilizer to bring back some of the green.
The computerized websites although good with their ten day forecasts tend to paint some day's forecasts with images of rain and clouds when only a small part of the day may include the events. Most of the time here is Sunny. If there was not enough Sun the resorts would be out of business and the beaches would be barren of visitors.

Well, in rain you'd get wet....
But have a look at the forecast:

Although you may have clouds you could have a high UV index (here 10+ extreme) and that's what tans (or rather burns) you.

Tan or Burn
Your body needs a few days to carry melanine to your skin in order to produce a protective tan, anyhow.

Depending on your skin type you may even want to avoid the sun altogether, stay in the shade and drink carrot juice...boogieman said:

Carrots in the Shade
Carrots > beta-carotene> vitamine A

m'frog....don't forget that the boogieman usually lives in the closet or under the bed
that's why he knows nothing about the sun or the rain or the carrots or the dominican republic

lol...
i can take a joke... i hope you can too...
whilst its true i know not much about carrots other than to stick them in your mom's ass, one cannot say i know nothing on the sun or rain...
I guess live and learn .. I've never used carrots the way you guys seem to use them. Up whose what? Its a mental image better forgotten
