Thanx Chris for the input. Sorry folks but just don't do temperatures! If you live here - it's cold!! I've been under a duvet since the 1st of October! My tourist guests have generally stuck with only a sheet but this last week or so they've been addding an extra blanket. We've been as cold as 17 deg C in the nights but generally it's above that. We have had very dry nights with little or no humidity so that makes it feel a bit cooler and the winds have had a bit of a chill in them. This year has been colder than I can remember and I've used my sweater most evenings and sometimes during the day - it's all relative to what you're used to? Day time temps have been up there in the low 30's (deg C) and when the sun shines it can get quite warm.
Coming from Denmark - you'll be fine and probably find it nice and warm!
Yesterday we had a nice day with good winds but it did rain quite heavily in the late evening.
This morning - it's rather dull at times with quite a lot of cloud about but the winds are picking up and the sun is coming out. I found the beach rather chilly this morning but there are tourists out and about in just their bikinis, and that's not always a pretty sight!
Sea surf is quite good out on the reef but the tides are still high and the beach erosion continues - all of the palms on the beach in Cabarete bay now have exposed roots and there's a lot of washed up debris about.
Fingers crossed for a sunny day, but don't bet on it!!
Any volunteers to do the weather thing from the 14th Feb to around the 16th March? (I won't be available for that period I'm afraid).

Yesterday turned out nice with plenty of sun so all hail to those who kept their fingers crossed, it seems to have worked.
A dry night too!
This morning it's clear and sunny again so perhaps the better weather is on the way?
Sea is reasonable with a shore break of up to 1.5 metres in places along the beach. Still those high tides though?

Yesterday remained a reasonably nice day but there were overcast and cloudy periods.
A very slight rain shower in the night and a few rain spots early this morning.
Today it's variable again - still a bit chilly! Dark clouds around but generaly clearing and the sun is shining through now and again.

Yesterday turned out better than the morning had indicated and we had some nice sunny spells. There were a few spots of rain later in the evening.
During the night it rained quite heavily and then remained damp until dawn.
This morning dawned dull and overcast with plenty of dark clouds around and it has rained on and off since. There are a few bright patches in the sky but it doesn't look too good for sun today.
Sea state is a bit confused - some bigger shore breaks along the bay and Bozo Beach. Still a lot of beach erosion too.

Thursday 10.02.05 @ 07.10am

Yesterday remained cloudy and overcast with some sunny spells but it did remain dry! The wind felt rather cold and continues to blow from the wrong direction for the windsurfers etc.
This morning dawned bright and sunny with lots of blue sky - but ...... now at 08.25am the high cloud is coming in and the sun is being blocked out. Hopefully this will clear soon.
A change in wind direction is predicted for the weekend but so is a lot of cloud cover.
Sea state is good today with variable shore break and a little surf out on the reef.

Yesterday - the sun stayed out and the wind blew enough to please the windsurfers! The evening remained dry and clear.
However, during the night the rains came and the day dawned with rain and black clouds. It's still very dull and overcast and it looks like more rain on the way?
Sea is flat calm again.

Hola,
Me back in town again after a long spell away in Dubai and the UK. Hated the freezing UK weather!!!
Here in Cabarete the sun is shining and the winds are blowing - a truly great day!!
Winds were up during the night, and blowing about 8 knots this morning at dawn. Sea was relatively calm and the sky was dark looking and quite dismal but this cleared later and the sun came out.
I'll try and get back into the swing of reporting the early morning weather over the next few dyas.

Yesterday turned out really good - nice sunny day with good winds.
This morning - flat calm seas, nice sunny clear sky and around 5 knots of wind already. Low tide early this morning so plenty of sandy expanses for those early morning joggers.

Yesterday - stayed nice and sunny all day with clear skies. Wind did get up for about an hour in the afternoon but then dropped off leaving a lot of disgruntled windsurfers!!
Night was pleasant and temperatres are still nice and cool.
This morning the sky was clear at dawn and the sun came up early. Looks like another nice day?
Winds are low and the surf is just not there - shore break is enough to make the tourists come out for their early morning dip though.

Yesterday the weather stayed sunny but it did get very hazy and the winds dropped to nil! Hard to explain but the air got very thick during the afternoon.
This morning is pleasant but that haze is still here and the air feels thick and heavy. The early sun had a misty halo around it and the seas were flat calm. There is no wind but a small amount of surf out on the reef, no real shore break in the bay today.
It's now 08.15am and the sun is trying to burn off the haze but there are some low misty clouds still around.

Yesterday remained a very nice day but no winds!! The evening temperatures felt a little higher than they have been.
This morning there is a flat calm sea with little to no shorebreak and no wind at all. However, at 10.00am there is a slight breeze starting which should be good for those taking windsurfing lessons - ideal conditions for beginners.
Sun is up and nice and warm now but there is still some high hazy clouds about. This should burn off as the day progresses and it could turn out very nice.

Catchup - Friday 25.03.05 @ 07.00am

Sorry been out of town again!!
Good Friday? It's good any day!
Yesterday was really nice - sun and good winds for a couple of hours.

Day before (Wednesday) - a very nice sunny day with really good strong winds up to 30 knots!! Good for windsurfers but far too strong for kiters!!

Tuesday was again a nice sunny day with reasonably strong winds.
So everyone has been having fun.

Now our little town is filling up with visitors for Semana Santa, beach is crowded and everyone out to party party party!! Just don't try to drive along main street or find a parking space!! Most of us here will be hibernating for the weekend?

Today - Friday 25.03.05
A really nice sunny day with flat calm seas and in the early morning only a slight breeze. Predictions are for some wind later - BUT ..... if you're going to sail then you will be restricted to the bouyed channel markers.
Have a nice Easter.

What a fantastic sunrise this morning! Bright red sun coming up through a bank of cloud out there on the horizon. A nice full moon still high up in the sky too.
It's clear and bright now at 08.45am with a slight breeze starting up. Potential for half decent wind today is reasonably high. Sea is relatively calm.
Cabarete beach is a mess - tons of garbage still lying around - some bars still pumping out the techno crap at 06.30am - toilet facilities in the alleyway adjacent to Pitu Bar seem to be functioning well (Hehehehehehe)!
