What’s the weather like in the Dominican Republic in July?
July weather: should you worry about rain during your vacation in the Dominican Republic?
Are you planning to travel to the Dominican Republic in the middle of summer and wondering if July is a good time to go?
Between tropical heat, short showers, and generous sunshine, the weather in July can be surprising — but not necessarily in a bad way!
Tropical Évasion explains in detail what to expect weather-wise to help you better plan your trip.
A warm... and pleasant tropical climate
The Dominican Republic enjoys a tropical climate, with two main seasons:
A dry season (from November to April)
A wet season (from May to October)
The month of July falls right in the middle of the wet season, but that doesn’t mean it rains all day. Quite the opposite.
July temperatures: heat guaranteed
In July, temperatures are high and stable throughout the country.
During the day: between 30°C and 33°C
At night: between 23°C and 26°C
The air is warm, often humid, but always softened by a pleasant sea breeze, especially in coastal areas such as Punta Cana, Bayahibe, or Las Terrenas.
🌞 Perfect for beach lovers, swimming, and water sports. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
Rain in July: should you worry?
Yes, July is a month with possible showers, but they are:
Most often short and late in the day
Localized, meaning it may rain in one area while it’s sunny just a few kilometers away
Followed by a quick return of sunshine
It’s very rare for it to rain all day. In general, you’ll enjoy long sunny beaches during the day, followed by a brief tropical shower in the late afternoon.
🌧️ Tropical Évasion tip: our excursions are scheduled based on local forecasts. In case of bad weather, we adjust the program so you can enjoy your activities 100%.
Hurricane risk: should you avoid it?
July falls within the official hurricane season (from June to November), but actual hurricane risks are low at that time.
The most active months for storms are rather August, September, and October.
🌪️ Stay informed with local weather updates and travel with peace of mind: hotels, guides, and operators are always prepared to handle any alerts.
