The climate of Samana (Dominican Republic)
Samana is a peninsula in the Dominican Republic. The peninsula offers
beautiful nature. Beautiful rainforests with fresh streams flowing
through them that sometimes flow into a waterfall. Nature is still
untouched here. On the coast beautiful beaches can be found where palm
trees and coconut trees grow. From January till March you can observe
hump back whales here. The National Park of Los Haitises is in the
vicinity. Several excursions can be made from the peninsula to
discover this exceptional rainforest.
Samana has a tropical rainforest climate. This means that even during
the dry months 60 millimeters of rain can be expected. However, the
average amount of precipitation is much higher. Longer periods of
drought are uncommon and humidity figures are almost constantly high.
However, this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the sunshine and the sea.
Temperatures are almost always above 18 degrees Celsius. Rainfall is
often short lived and fierce and rain clouds disappear rapidly.

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:
