Best time to go to Dominican Republic
You can count on blue skies and sunshine in the Dominican Republic. The northern shore packs in a massive 300 sunny days a year, with average temperatures in the high 20s. Things get even hotter between June and October, although you’ll get a few tropical downpours. Over in Punta Cana, average temperatures sit at around 29°C, with summer temperatures nudging into the low 30s. Hurricane season usually lasts between June and September.Passports and Visas
British citizens must have a valid passport to visit the Dominican Republic.
