Historically, May through November are the rainiest months, while December though April are the dryer months.
The summer months are the warmest, of course, but the winter months are almost as warm, only it cools down more at night than in the summer.

Dear Orange Peel

Rains, generally speaking, do not last long, during the summer months. A hard shower then the sun bakes you.

Winter months seem to have rainy weeks when cold fronts pass through. You might ask our friend Xanadu Ranch about this, he is the weather guy...

No matter what time of the year you come, you can get very badly sunburned, so be sure to bring a lot of 30 or 45 Sun Blocker. Be a shame to ruin a nice holiday.

Stayed in Sosua from mid oktober until the end of march. The big dissapointment was the weather, it realy sucked. Best period was the 3 first weeks in march, witch was realy good before the rain started again. My last saturday there, Sosua was totaly floodded.
