Another great day, lots of sun, light breeze.... what more could you ask for. Please remember your sun screen and re apply it every 2 hours for full effectiveness.

Have a great day.

Today we have hot and sunny conditions. We have a nice breeze too. It appears almost hazy off to the east.....

In May we can have hot and humid conditions. You can expect some showers late in the day so come prepared.

Have a great day.

I was right, the clouds rolled in late on Tuesday and they are still here. We are completely socked in. We had rain Tuesday night, most of yesterday and we are still overcast today. But, it is a bit brighter, the clouds aren't quite as heavy. I think this system might be breaking up.

It is still hot and humid and right now there is little breeze. Hopefully we will return to hot and sunny conditions tomorrow.

Have a great day.

Good morning, it is another beautiful day here! We have bright blue skies and hot hot hot.... it is a day for a pool or the beach. And of course as we move towards summer you can feel the humidity levels rise!

Sunday evening we were hit by quite the rain storm, with high winds and hail. It lasted about 30 minutes where I am. That is the only rain we had all weekend.

Have a great day.

Hi Planner - how's it going? We're almost as warm as you - been in the 70s here in Kitchener for the last week!

Good morning, what a nice day we have. It is 86F and not quite as humid as it was yesterday at this time. We had some clouds roll in late yesterday afternoon but didn't get any rain. Last evening was very hot and humid with not a breeze to be found.

I'm having an interesting morning - just been to Codetel to see if my phone can be saved - you are not supposed to drop them in water!

Have a great day.

The weather has certainly changed today. We started out hot and humid but sunny. About 11 am the rain started and for the past 2 hours we have had some pretty heavy rain.

Currently we have some sun and clouds, it is hot and humid and there are some big ugly clouds off to the east. I expect we will see more rain later.

Have a great day.

We have a strange day today. We have a nice breeze cooling things down but it is humid and overcast. It feels like a storm is brewing!

Have a great day.

Good morning, another nice day in paradise. It is sunny, 87F already with a nice breeze.

Yesterday was also stunning and I managed to get some time by a pool......

We seem to have fallen into a general pattern - pretty normal for this time of year if a bit hotter - sunny days, cloud buildup later in the day and a chance of shower. Evening are just a touch cooler.

Have a great day.

Puerto Plata/Sousa Weather

Good Morning all!

I am coming to D.R. next week form cold canada and all I see on the different weather sites is rain, rain, rain. Is it really raining that much there or are these just generic forecasts?

If it is possible to get rain anywhere near here, the other "sites" will call for rain. This time of year it is likely we will see a shower 2 or 3 times a week. Often they are short and sweet, cool things down, clean things up. Occasionally we will get some real rain..... Don't worry it will still be nicer then back home....

Ya! I am so looking forward to my trip to Sousa...and yes you are right, we figured even if it did rain, it was still better than being here :)

My sister just got back from her first visit to the DR.
Before she left me she called me so disappointed that
the weather reports for her time there were showing rain
everyday. Well, she got back on Tuesday and reported
that it didn't rain at all and she had worried for nothing.
My advice would be to read planner's reports (Thanks for the updates Planner!) and take a break from checking the weathersites.

cinco de Mayo

Puerto Plata, up in the mountains.....Sunny, breezy, temp.28 C. in the shade (82 F.).
Everything is lush after this weekends down pours.

Vacationers, before you get excited over the National weather reports, first look here at planners posts.
This is the time of year, that most, if not all extended forecast's will call for thunderstorms and/ or rain. Does not necessarily mean that the reality here, on the land is all rain.
As alway's plan accordingly and bring a long sleeved shirt/ pants. It could get/ seem a bit chilly at night after a hot day in the sun.
Enjoy!

Good morning. We have now had 3 days in a row - beautiful, hot and sunny - no rain. That was after 3 days of rainy conditions.

Right now there is not a cloud in sight, it is 88F and we have a nice breeze.

Have a great day.
