Just like almost all of the Dominican Republic Playa Dorado has a
tropical savannah climate. This climate can be divided into two
periods. A rainy period and a relatively dry period. The rainy period
can be quite fierce with heavy showers. Because temperatures remain
high humidity figures remain high as well. During the dry period
temperatures are pleasant. This is the best time to visit Playa
Dorado. During the summer, which coincides with the rainy period
hurricanes and tropical depressions may occur.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
