The weather here in Dominican Republic is tropical. It is hot and hotter. The temperature average is 87° degrees Fahrenheit / 30° degrees Celsius. For the high, 72° degrees Fahrenheit / 17° degrees Celsius for the low.
There are many temperature variations depending on where you are located throughout the island. Coastal areas are hotter than in the mountainous areas. City areas are hotter than the country side. Sitting water (in a bowl or bucket) can freeze at night in the mountains but it will melt fast as the sun rises. The Cordillera Central mountain region is the coolest spot of the country (Jarabacoa and Constanza) where the average temperature is 61° F / 16°C. There has even been a few frosty mornings in the higher altitudes. Remember this if you are planning on leaving the coast to take with you appropriate clothing. Along the coast the weather is usually warmer and there is usually always a breeze coming off the water. Depending on the time of year a sweater or light jacket may be needed in the evenings. In the desert regions of the southwest are the highest average temperatures. They can reach temperatures above 104° / 40°C.
