Menace Season
The "hot" season runs approximately from May to October when the median temperature rises to 31°C (87°F) during the daytime and drops to about 22°C (72°F) at night. But with the high humidity levels during this season, the temperature feels much hotter. Rains do bring some respite from the heat during May straight through August, but commonly this turns out to be no more than a 30-minute tropical shower. It is advised that travelers pack light and include a lot of cool and light fitting cotton clothing.
Despite such minimal unlikeness in the middle of the temperatures in summer and winter, the climate tends to vary a lot from year to year due to the affect of the weather phenomena known as "El Niño" and "La Niña" among others. The greatest threat to the Dominican Republic comes from hurricanes. The Caribbean hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30. August and September are the more hurricane-prone months. The major resorts have become adept at getting back on their feet fast after a hurricane.
As in most tropical areas, in Punta Cana too the menace of mosquitoes looms large. The mosquitoes commonly appear after dusk but they are seasonal and more noticeable in the rainy season. Visitors are advised to wear long, comfortable cotton pants after dusk and use insect repellent sprays before venturing outside.
