What's the Weather like in Samana in December

Samana, the Dominican Republic, enjoys an abundance of sunshine and warmth throughout the year. However, the "winter" season is undeniably the best time of year to visit this fantastic beach resort. This is when the weather conditions are optimal, there is plenty of sunshine, relatively low humidity, warm temperatures on land and in the sea, and low rainfall.

Rainfall

Though there can be showers during the winter season, these are usually brief (although sometimes heavy) which means that clear, sunny skies are never far away. December receives 71mm of rainfall in total, which is spread out across just 8 days. There is always a chance that you will experience rainfall, thoughhat chance hovers around 41% on any given day this month. While thunderstorms were prevalent in the warmer, more humid summertime, they have receded now. They only occur on 7% of the days with precipitation this time of year. The most likely types of rainfall in December are light rain and moderate rain, occurring respectively on 53% and 34% of those rainy days.

Average Sunshine Hours

December happens to be the least sunny month of the year with 7 hours of sunshine per day on average. This isn't due to cloudy skies or rainfall, though, but to the fact that the days in December are the shortest of the entire year. And let's be honest, 7 hours of sunshine each day is not bad whatsoever for December in the Northern Hemisphere.
