Rain Rain Go Away ?

I will be arriving in the Dominican Republic on Saturday for an 9 day stay. All that I've been seeing over the past week and at least forecast through this weekend is rain. Have these been all day rains, scattered showers? Are you still getting plenty of sun? Answers from anyone who is on the ground in the country, particularly the Samana Peninsula, would be greatly appeciated.

It has been raining. These have been scattered showers. Note that Samana, one of the most lush areas in the countries, gets the most rain in the DR. It will usually rain in the morning, and then the sun will shine. If one is a pessimist then I could forecast you might come across two or three days in your nine day stay of showers all morning long or night long. But, realistically speaking, it is more probable you will get enough sun to go back home with a good tan.
