 Find out the best season to visit Punta Cana

Punta Cana Weather - What is the best time to travel to Punta Cana? That is one of the most common questions we ask ourselves when planning our vacations. 

We want to know how is the weather, the temperature, and the time. About the weather in Punta Cana, I can say that you can expect short periods of rain that can last from 5 to 15 minutes, usually during the evening.

 The weather in Punta Cana is fairly constant all year long, with an average temperature of 79°F. Because of the tropical weather, it feels like summer all year round. The hottest season begins on April and finishes in November, and during the day the temperature might reach 90°F. From December to March, the temperatures during the evening are around 68°F. As you can see, you can go shopping, practice sports or just relaxing on the beach almost any time of the year. And we say "almost", because you need to know that there is a hurricane (storm) season that begins on June 1st and finishes on November 30th. August and September are the peak months for storms and hurricanes, so try to avoid traveling during these months.

The best time to travel to Punta Cana is during the middle of November, December, January, February, March, and April because the Punta Cana weather is relatively dry, so it is perfect if you love outdoor activities. The month of May could be a good time to travel too, but the temperature will be a little bit higher and also rainy.

We traveled to Punta Cana during November and we stayed five days. During that time, the weather was very sunny during the day, and the temperature was cool during the night. I remembered that it rained only one time, at night, and it was  for a couple of minutes. The Punta Cana weather is good enough to practice any sport, and we recommend you to bring an umbrella with you, just in case it rains a little.

 

What to expect about the Punta Cana weather during each month?
 

January - April: The temperature during these months are cool, specially during mornings and evenings. It is recommended to bring a sweater or jacket to wear during the night.

May - June: During these months you can expect rainy days from time to time, even though it is more likely to rain in the afternoons.

June - September: June, July, and August are the hottest months of the year, and it is also the peak of the hurricane (storm) season (from June 1 to 30 November).

October - November: During November, the chance of getting hit by hurricanes and storms decreases. That is why we recommend you to visit Punta Cana during November, December, January, February, March, and April.
