Most tourists do not know much about this amazing and rich in natural beauty country. The first places among the sights are occupied by those created by Mother Nature herself: lace rows of coral reefs, sugar deposits of endless beaches, crystal threads of waterfalls.
And these are the memories that a vacation in the Dominican Republic in August will leave. Torrential rains can become the only fly in the ointment, but if you look at them as a way of respite, then they will be remembered as life-giving heavenly moisture that saves you from the heat.
Weather conditions in the Dominican Republic
The last summer month breaks records in the field of temperature, on average it is kept at the level of +33 ° C. Tourists assure that the heat is very well tolerated in this country. This is due to the high humidity, which reaches 90% and softens the effect of high temperatures.
In addition, for many vacationers, the decisive factor in choosing this country is the temperature of the water, not the air. Sea baths are difficult to leave when the surface of the water warms up to + 28 ° C.
The biggest trouble for tourists that can overtake a tourist in the Dominican Republic is tropical storms, when the weather gets worse, wind and rain rule the show, and the sea surface is not. It is good that this weather does not linger for long, the very next day you can, as if nothing had happened, sunbathe and swim.
