The Dominican Republic lies in the outer tropical zone, so there is little temperature variation between summer and winter. The varied relief of the large island means a diverse climate, from warm and tropical to arid and more temperate.
January and February are the coolest months of the year while August is the hottest month. Snowfall can be seen on rare occasions on the summit of Pico Duarte - the highest peak in the Caribbean.
Tropical cyclones hit the DR every couple of years, predominantly along the southern coast. The last major hurricane that impacted the DR was Hurricane George in 1998.
Port Closures due to Heavy Seas and Swells
In all ports, anchorages and marinas with officials, when big seas and swells are being reported by the Government weather department, the Armada/Navy will close all ports for the safety of marinas and will not issue a local or off-shore international Despacho. So, keep an eye on the weather and plan accordingly.
