Hola,
Can anyone tell me where to find statistics on rainfall in the DR? What are the three top months for rain? What are the averages for each month in the year. Need this information ASAP.

Thanks! Vanessa W.

Thing is: WHERE???????????????????????

It is not the same to talk about rain in Pedernales or Monte Cristi as it is to talk rain in Samana or Bonao.

Basically, you can count on more rain in the very east, less in the west.
More in the mountains of San Juan and Neiba, less on the northern side.

Not very accurate, huh?

The site does give you lots of different areas

The source at the bottom of each information for any given city i checked is very old

Example, for Santiago is from 1985..... Santo Domingo around 1991

Just an observation

Source: SANTIAGO data derived from GHCN 1. 650 months between 1925 and 1985

Thats what it says at the bottom...
