The weathers still great generally speaking but travel agents have to give u all the warnings so thy are covering their backs for complaints etc x

Oo thats where we are going but we go in april. Which resort is it? X

Just been looking online about this too as getting married September next year and saw some places at Dominican Republic for a good price. After reading up that August/September is when the hurricane season hits its peak, you're likely to have a lot of stormy weather around that time and not so much pure sunshine as MrsWright says xxx

The problem with the Caribbean is that you just don't know. The only months where you're really guaranteed great weather (hot, lots of sun, little rain, small chance of storms) and March and April; November-February is hot during the day, and fairly dry, but nights can be cool, then May-October you get more rain.

I did a lot of research before we booked, as it was a choice between mid-late July, and September. After speaking to several people on Trip Advisor who'd traveled numerous times both months, we plumped for September, as we wanted to avoid the school holidays, and were prepared to risk slightly worse weather. From my research, it seems September is pretty similar weather-wise to July and August, with more rain, and having been to the region several times in July and August, I was prepared to take the gamble.

You have to be very unlucky to get 2 weeks of overcast skies, though it can happen. The worst weather we've had to date was in Mexico in 2011, when we caught the tail-end of a tropical storm. We had about 2.5 days of non-stop rain, and a further 2.5 days of overcast skies. I'd say we had maybe 4-5 days that were constantly sunny with no overcast spells. However, it was blimming hot, and didn't spoil it for us at all; the wet days we went into town/got a massage/made the most of the included room service and ocean view jacuzzi in our room ;-)

We honeymooned in Gran Canaria in October. Weather was bliss 32-38 daily. We had one "cloudy" day where it was still 27-29 and we just used that day to go walking instead. Never had rain in GC yet and have been in May, August and October.

I saw that exact one on the wedding tv literally 30mins ago can you give me the site where you got the offer for punta cana in DR... Thanks I'm desperate to go :D x

TBH weather is good in most places in September; but, I LOVE the Caribbean lol, the standard of hotels is just so much higher, and your money goes so much further!

We're getting married at the beginning of August next year, but looking at delaying our honeymoon until beginning of October, as the weather is slightly better then, and it gives us something to look forward to. Looking at Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, been wanting to go for ages and UK TOs are FINALLY offering it with direct flights.

Also, 'word to the wise'; I'd maybe wait and track prices for the time being, I find that when the prices just come out they can be on the higher side, and usually find it best to book about 11-13 months before.

We were looking at Catalonia Bavaro, in Bavaro, Punta Cana and Royalton Punta Cana, in Bavaro, Punta Cana xxx
