Weather Near Riu Merengue Resort, Puerto Plata

Like most places in the Caribbean in general and in the Dominican Republic in particular, the weather in Puerto Plata is hot all year round. Consequently, visitors frequent the area at anytime during the year, but especially during the winter.

Note, however, that the summer days are quite humid and so hot that you may need to wear sandals on the beach.

During the hottest months of July and August, the highest temperatures remain in the 90's. And during the "coldest" months of January through March, the highest temperatures remain above 80 degrees. The temperature at nights sometimes reach into the 60's during "winter".

Some months during the Atlantic Hurricane Season, June to November, tend to be quite rainy so you must plan on getting some rain.

However, you can expect an overall great vacation weather when you visit the Riu Merengue Inclusive Resort.
