Weather Overview for Bavaro
Bavaro
lies on the Dominican
Republic’s small east coast and, along with Punta Cana,
forms a line of beautiful white sand, palm-lined beaches. The
Bavaro’s climate is essentially tropical with hot and humid weather all through the year. Temperatures vary little across the year; monthly temperature averages vary from 24C to 28C. The year is split into two distinct seasons: wet and dry. The resort is susceptible to hurricanes; hurricane season falls between June and November.
The dry season runs from December to April and is the most popular
time to visit. The start of this season sees the best weather as it’s not only
dry but also the coolest time of year. Average temperatures are at their lowest
of 24C in January and February, with highs of 27C and lows of 22C. It is rare

The preceding wet months see about 160-170mm, while it drops to 150mm in October and 120mm in November the final month of the rainy season. There is still a decent amount of sunshine during the wet season as most of the rain falls in heavy tropical downpours that don’t last for long. Rain is often restricted to the evenings, leaving good beach weather during the day. The wet season is the hottest time of year; August to October sees an average temperature an 28C, with highs above 30 and lows not dropping below the mid 20s at night.
A major feature of Bavaro’s weather is that it lies in the
Although strong storms are a feature of the wet season, the majority do little harm. The region is well prepared in the event of a hurricane and most hotels are now hurricane proof. Many, in fact, choose the wet season to visit in order to take advantage of fewer crowds and cheaper prices. If you are willing to risk a few downpours, it’s not a bad idea, though travel to the area should be preceded by some research into predicted hurricane activity.
