How warm is it in the Dominican Republic during February?

The temperature reaches around 29℃ during the daytime in February, falling away to 21℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in the Dominican Republic during February?

On average, in February you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in the Dominican Republic during February?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in February. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.

How warm is the sea in the Dominican Republic during February?

The water around the Dominican Republic reaches a very pleasant 26℃ during February. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
