June weather forecast
Dominican Republic

June in the Dominican Republic is characterized by the full arrival of the summer season, bringing hot temperatures, frequent rainfall, and increasing humidity. The average temperatures typically lie between 22°C (71.6°F) and 33°C (91.4°F), indicating a steady rise from the preceding months. As summer progresses, the conditions become hot and humid, creating a stark contrast to the comfortable weather of the dry season that ended in April.

The high-altitude regions like the Cordillera Central range provide a respite from the soaring temperatures of the lower areas. Nonetheless, these regions also see a significant increase in temperatures compared to the previous months.

In June, the northern regions such as Puerto Plata and the southern regions including Santo Domingo experience substantial rainfall. The pattern of short, heavy showers generally occurring in the late afternoon or evening continues, with occasional thunderstorms. While the rain provides a reprieve from the heat, it brings high humidity, making the weather feel warmer than the actual temperatures suggest.

Compared to May, June witnesses a rise in both temperature and precipitation, emphasizing the full onset of the summer season. Despite the hot weather and frequent rainfall, the early mornings and evenings often provide cooler and drier conditions, making these times ideal for outdoor activities.

The northeast trade winds, which had previously offered a cooling effect, continue to weaken in June, and wind speeds stay typically below 32.2km/h (20mph). As the wet season progresses, the likelihood of tropical storms starts to increase, signaling the start of the hurricane season which peaks in late summer and early autumn.
