Punta Cana-Current Weather - Page 9

still nothing to worry about in vicinity of the east coast,
but we may look towards a couple cloudy days, one may be a heavy downpur day.
a small disturbance ESE of puerto rico is moving quickly into our area, winds should not pass much over 20 knots as max, but rainfall may be heavy for some hours.
surrounding circumstances are completely unfavorable for development of the formation, so no worries, just await that we may not need to water the garden this weekend.
let's stay tuned,
looks like the highway get's some movement started.

wind started last night to go a bit up, since this morning the gusts are rising stronger, steady wind get's heavier.
the tropical wave 97L is moving quick over punta cana today, wind will come up more during this afternoon, it should be all over tomorrow morning.
nothing to be concerned about other than we will have a cloudy afternoon and most likely we will get a share of rain.
til now PC is still dry.
the newly appeared disturbed area over the bahamas will not have any effects on the east coast of the DR.

PC is still on the calmest summer since i am here on my 15th PC summer now.
no wind, no waves, pure sunshine like visitors like it, i even think the humidity feels less than usual during august.
august is coming to an end and we are still on the weather conditions we are used to during april/may/june.
the only negative on all is the fact that we are completely dry, mangroves dry on wide parts, plants are crying for water.
sure we do not cry out for a hurricane pouring down such for 2-3 consecutive days and nights flooding everything, but 3 nights a week a 30-40 minutes strong downpour without strong winds would be appreciated.
the weather in case of travelling to PC august 2009:
man,
just perfect.
happy sunday eve
Mike

Don't want to bother you, Mike, but can you please post an update?
My friend is arriving to PC come Sunday and weathercom now shows scattered T-storms today and all week after. Please, is there any sun between rains?

MikeFisher · #87 09-30-2009, 03:02 PM

you don't bother.
i did not update here since weeks b/c we did not have any change on our PC summer weather all summer long til now.
pure sunshine, few clouds are a rarity,
we did not have not even one rainy day here at my place during the whole summer 2009, wind is zero, waves inshore and offshore are zero.
to be honest,
we wished it would rain 2-3 nights a week,
PC is bonedry and needs water.
who the heck is watching weather.com???
so your friends also watch CNN and believe what they show there?
ha ha ha
forget the weather forecasts whicvh are made for more than 2 days in advance,
b/c nobody knows about the weather in advance,
not at your home and not here in the tropics.
it is unpredictable.
happy travels
Mike

I tried to reason, pointing to the difference between the same forecast for Las Terrrenas and the actual thing I see through the window, but she is worried still.
The thing is, I was the one to recommend her the DR for her well-needed vacation, I even like insisted on it, so now I feel responcible

I am heading to Punta Cana on Saturday Nov. 7th - Nov. 14. I've been watching the weather for that week and it's looking mostly like rain. Is it going to be a wash out?

hi Cheryl,
no washout expected,
and if we would get a washout it could anyways not be predicted a week in advance, nobody knows the weather a week in advance.
don't watch those long range CNN/website etc weather forecasts, they are absolutely worth nothing.
we are now on our typical fall/winter weather in Punta Cana, Ocean on a 5-6ft, specially the mornings this week are very rought due to the tidal changes/moon phase, we have our usual 8-10 knots winds, days are mostly sunny, several nights per week we get some showers.
at this moment we do not have any bad weather front or such nearby, so no reson for the forecasters to call for rain.
daytime showers, even short ones, been during the whole year 2009 til now a very very rare thingy.
have a blast on our lovely Isle
Mike
