We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night. The chance that a given day will be muggy in Puerto Rico is gradually decreasing during the fall, falling from 100% to 96% over the course of the season. For reference, on June 12, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time, while on March 9, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 81% of the time.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in Puerto Rico is essentially constant during the fall, remaining within 1.0 miles per hour of 10.4 miles per hour throughout. For reference, on July 14, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 12.6 miles per hour, while on October 10, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 9.4 miles per hour. The lowest daily average wind speed during the fall is 9.4 miles per hour on October 11.

DisclaimerThe information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

Valley, Anguilla – recreation, weather, reviews of tourists, photos
The city of Valley became the administrative center of the island of Anguilla back in 1670 and since then it has practically not parted with this status..jpg)
Today it is not only the only city on the island, but also a geographical, political and commercial center, but also a place of unhurried rest for numerous tourists. They come here all year round to take a break from the daily bustle in the shade of spreading palm trees. This is one of the few places where warmth and hospitality reigns and where even in the high season you can always find a corner for solitude. Moreover, it seems that creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere for relaxation comes first compared to the goal of attracting as many tourists as possible. Actually, thanks to the reputation of a fairly calm place, combined with first-class service standards and unforgettably beautiful nature, the Valley is equated with fashionable world resorts and is popular with world celebrities. nine0003

This city has a special climate: the sun shines here all year round, the average air temperature is about +27 °С , but due to the proximity of the sea, the heat is rarely exhausting. Tourists unaccustomed to such weather are better off visiting the resort in winter, from December to February it is most comfortable here. From time to time, precipitation falls on the city in the form of rains and even tropical showers, but, fortunately, as a rule, they only bring freshness to a hot day.

In addition to seafood, which rightfully occupy the main place in Anguilla cuisine, you can easily find a variety of meat dishes in the menu of local restaurants. In general, the Valley can be safely called a paradise for gourmets.
As they say, demand creates supply – restaurant bills in the Valley are usually quite impressive. An ordinary dinner can cost at least $50 without alcoholic drinks, but few places will surprise you with such fresh and skillfully cooked oysters, squids and other seafood. In establishments such as coastal cafes, dishes cost a little less, but you should not count on cheapness especially. nine0003

Prices can vary accordingly. The cheapest option will cost about $100 per night.

Entertainment and recreation
The national sport of the island is the sailing regatta. Apparently, therefore, all the main entertainments are somehow connected with this sport. The tradition of boat competitions dates back to the end of the 19th century, when fishermen competed with each other to return with their catch as soon as possible. Carrying out regattas is always a holiday, a bright cultural event in the city, accompanied by unbridled fun under the music flowing everywhere, eating barbecue and tasting hard liquor. But throughout the year they are held here several times. The largest is in August, and the traditional carnival is timed to coincide with it – an unforgettable spectacle of a colorful parade. In general, the end of summer in the Valley is very eventful.
For example, around the same time as the carnival, the Miss Anguilla contest and the Zhuver-Morning festival are held, during which dancing in the streets does not stop from dawn to dusk. nine0003
But even if you get here at a different time, there will always be entertainment.
For example, swimming with dolphins can be one of the most exciting experiences in the Valley. These smartest animals certainly know how to bring joy to everyone who wants to ride them.
Coral reefs are a favorite destination for snorkelers and divers, while the sea attracts yachtsmen from all over the world.
Horseback riding, golf and hiking are available for an active pastime. The so-called “Heritage Trail”, the Heritage Trail, includes visits to historic sites across the island of Anguilla. nine0003
Art connoisseurs will surely enjoy the numerous art galleries open all over the place, and you can relax and enjoy the peace while visiting the spas, whose services are famous for their excellent quality.
It is impossible not to mention the excellent Anguilla restaurants that compete in their superiority with the world’s best establishments. The country is known as the capital of high cuisine of the Caribbean, so when relaxing in the Valley, you can not help but feel the professionalism of the work of local chefs. nine0003
Shopping
The Valley is by no means a trading town, but if you wish, you can find a lot of interesting things in local shops. If the shopping craze does not leave you during your holidays, take a day trip to nearby Saint-Martin, a duty-free zone with more than 500 Duty Free shops with a wide selection of goods in various categories from high-end designer clothing brands to the best vintage wines at very attractive prices. prices. In the Valley itself, boutiques are found only in hotels, there are no large shopping centers at all. You can easily find only cozy souvenir shops and small markets that offer the most necessary, but at the same time a fairly diverse range of goods from food, including ready-made cooking, to cosmetics.
However, how could it be without them, at a seaside resort. nine0003
Stores usually sell for cash, you can also pay in US dollars. There are often problems with accepting credit cards, and in places where they do work, you will certainly be asked to show your passport. True, this inconvenience is fully compensated by the excellent service – the delivery of purchases by the store service directly to the hotel room or other place of stay of the tourist.
Transportation
The Valley’s transportation system is limited to the nearby Wallblake Airport, which operates mostly local flights, and ships that travel between neighboring states. Unlike other Caribbean islands, there is no bus service everywhere in Anguilla, from land transport you can only find a taxi or rent a car. Most likely, this is due to the small territory and the unprofitability of passenger transportation services. On the other hand, it is easier to arrange a car rental here – the driver will only need a certificate for the right to drive a motor transport.
The rental price is an average of $ 50 per day and depends on the class of the car. nine0003
Telecommunications
Cable&Wireless is responsible for providing communications in the Valley. The services of this company can be used by connecting roaming or by purchasing an international card from an operator, at a hotel, post office, and even in a store.
Internet can be easily used in hotels or by walking to Internet cafes. A local telecom provider has recently begun to establish services to provide a wireless connection, and now you can use Wi-Fi in many establishments. nine0003
Security
The city has maintained a reputation for being quite safe over the years, but as elsewhere, don’t tempt fate by leaving valuables out of a hotel room safe, unattended on the beach or in an unlocked car. It is advisable to avoid wild beaches and staying in areas remote from the resort area at night.
Tetanus, polio and hepatitis B vaccinations are recommended prior to travel, and yellow fever vaccinations are also available (currently only required for visiting residents of countries where the disease is spread).
nine0003
Running water is not suitable for drinking, in order to maintain good health it is better to purchase bottled water. Although the local cuisine is famous for its unsurpassed quality, it can still become a source of intestinal infections due to the widely used exotic products. The local hospital will provide you with assistance if necessary, but only at a basic level, in severe cases, patients are referred by air transport to healthcare organizations in nearby large settlements. Such a low development of medicine is primarily due to the habit of local residents to seek help from home doctors, this service is quite in demand here. nine0003
Business climate
The Valley has a favorable business environment due to its offshore status. As a matter of fact, there are practically no restrictions on opening your own business, except that the founders and managers do not have to be residents of Anguilla, and companies are not allowed to provide banking, insurance and reinsurance services, as well as to conclude transactions with local enterprises.
At the same time, there are no requirements for the minimum size of the authorized capital, there is no need to submit financial statements, and many other preferences are provided, including tax exemption. Registered companies pay only an annual registration fee. The management of the company can be carried out on the condition of anonymity. Of course, a business operating in an offshore zone has its drawbacks. The biggest of these is the low level of trust in such companies in countries with traditional economic policies. nine0003
Real Estate
Buying real estate in the Valley is within the power of very wealthy buyers, among the offers there are mainly luxury cottages, luxurious villas and residences of the highest level right on the seashore with a price often exceeding a million dollars. If you wish, you can consider buying an apartment in an area away from the beach with a more affordable price starting from $ 1,500 per square meter. Buying real estate is always a long-term investment, here it is felt very strongly.
It is unlikely that such an acquisition is designed for permanent residence due to the rather hot climate, a large number of tropical insects, the possibility of catching intestinal infections with insufficiently developed medicine, but having your own housing on the island provides an excellent opportunity to have a constantly high income from renting it out, having received a local permit for such activity. The demand for such a service does not subside all year round, and the price of the issue starts from $ 5,000 per week. nine0003
To make a purchase, you can contact an intermediary company that is ready to provide services for the selection of proposals with the required characteristics, negotiations with the seller and legal execution of documents in accordance with local legislation.
Travel tips
In addition to restaurants, where tips are usually included in the bill, it is customary to thank the staff for their work. As a rule, $ 10 is left here for beach workers, the same amount for taxi drivers, about $ 20 is the usual thanks to the concierge at the hotel.
If there is no tip line on the restaurant bill, the reward to the waiter is usually $10-$15 of the total amount. nine0003
The most necessary things for a holiday in the Valley are comfortable shoes, clothing made from natural fabrics, and its maximum openness is welcomed only within the beach, sun and after-sun products, sunglasses and a hat. Many hotels impose a dress code for appearing at dinners. It doesn’t have to be fancy evening dresses for the ladies and tuxedos or tailcoats for the men, but wearing beachwear in a restaurant is unacceptable.
Weather in Punta Cana by monthsdegrees Celsius, and the average nighttime temperature is 24-25 degrees Celsius. Deviations from these values in different months are insignificant, usually they do not exceed 5 degrees.
Punta Cana, located in the northern hemisphere, has very hot summers (June to September) and mild winters (December to March). Even during the coldest month in Punta Cana, which is January, the minimum temperature is unlikely to fall below 20 degrees Celsius.
If not for the hurricanes that periodically form in the Caribbean, then Punta Cana would be an ideal place to relax at any time of the year. But, unfortunately, like almost all tourist areas in the Caribbean, Punta Cana also occasionally suffers from hurricanes and storms. True, in most cases, strong hurricanes do not disturb this area. nine0003
Tropical storm season begins in early June and ends in late November, but most major hurricanes hit earlier in August and September. During these months, the weather here is extremely unstable. But there is also a downside to the coin – at this time of the year, hotels in Punta Cana offer attractive prices for accommodation. We dedicate this article to those tourists who are interested in the question of when is the best time to go on vacation to the Dominican Republic. We will try to fully cover this topic and give some recommendations. Let’s start with the facts. nine0003
The best time to visit Punta Cana starts just after the end of the hurricane and tropical rainy season, that is, in late November, and ends somewhere in late April.
At this time, tropical rains are less frequent and, consequently, the relative humidity of the air is not very high.
Below we will briefly describe the weather in Punta Cana by months. This information should help you plan your trip to the Dominican Republic.
Weather in Punta Cana in January
The weather at this time of the year is quite pleasant. The temperature ranges from 22° C to 27° C. January is considered the coldest month in Punta Cana, but hurricanes do not form at this time of the year, and rain will not spoil your vacation. Still, January is also a rather dry month, and the likelihood that it will rain all day long is extremely small. By the way, the average rainfall is only 57 mm. Usually the skies remain clear for most of the day, although there may be overcast weather and light rain in the afternoon. The average water temperature in January is 25.6 degrees Celsius. Another important factor to consider is the UV index, which is around 8.
This is very close to the minimum for the Caribbean, so there is not much risk of sunburn, although the use of sunscreen should not be ignored. nine0003
Weather in Punta Cana in February
The main difference between the weather this month and the weather in January is the lower chance of rain. So February is a very good month to visit Punta Cana and offers average daytime and nighttime temperatures of 27.1°C and 22.4°C respectively. The ocean is cool at this time, but the average water temperature of 25.2 degrees allows almost everyone to swim in it. It is also worth considering that the beach in the area of some hotels is shallow, and the water near the coast can be 2-3 degrees higher than the average. nine0213 Humidity in February is low, almost does not affect the feeling of temperature. That is, it does not give the impression that the temperature is much higher than the real one. It is worth remembering that February is the driest month in Punta Cana with an average rainfall of 48mm.
The UV index rises to 10 this month, which means you shouldn’t forget to use sunscreen. The wind during February is usually not strong and ranges from 3 to 21 km per hour.
Weather in Punta Cana in March
This month is getting slightly warmer, with daytime temperatures rising to 28.2°C and nighttime temperatures rising to 22.6°C. So you can expect moderately warm days with clear sunshine and slightly cool comfortable evenings. The temperature in the ocean practically does not change and remains approximately the same as in February. The same applies to precipitation – an average of 50 mm of precipitation falls in March. But the UV index changes, which rises to 11 and requires you to constantly use sunscreen. Being in the sun without proper protection, you risk getting sunburn. There are no hurricanes in Punta Cana in March, but winds up to 30 km per hour can rise. nine0003
Weather in Punta Cana in April
Weather changes in Punta Cana in April compared to March are minimal and are mainly associated with an increase in precipitation (average 68 mm), which also leads to an increase in relative humidity .
This, in turn, makes the air temperature, which is about the same as in March, seem higher. As for the UV index, it remains quite high (11), so it is important not to forget about the use of sunscreen. nine0213 In April, the ocean near Punta Cana becomes warmer, its temperature rises to 26.7 degrees Celsius on average per month. Another difference between April weather and March weather is a decrease in wind speed. Usually this month there are no winds with a speed higher than 22 km per hour.
Punta Cana weather in May
May is a transitional month between the dry season and the hurricane season, so you can see how much Punta Cana weather changes during this month. The weather in this resort area becomes more rainy and less stable. The weather forecast will broadcast rain almost every day. Although in reality it does not rain every day in Punta Cana in May, their probability is always present. nine0003
As the temperature rises to 29.
5° C during the day and 24.1° C at night, the air humidity also rises. Therefore, one gets the impression that the temperature in May increases significantly, although in fact its increase, compared with the average value for April, does not exceed 1 degree.
As we said above, the weather in Punta Cana in May becomes more rainy, which proves the average rainfall of 155 mm. Thunderstorms are a regular occurrence in Punta Cana in May. The UV index remains high this month, with ocean temperatures rising to 27.2 degrees Celsius. Among the positive aspects, one can note a decrease in the average wind speed. In May Punta Cana rarely experiences winds above 18 km per hour, so this month is one of the worst for surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers. nine0003
Punta Cana weather in June
Although June is the beginning of the hurricane season, you are unlikely to encounter this element if you go on vacation this month. The weather in Punta Cana gets very warm in June, with average daytime temperatures rising to 30.
1°C and nighttime temperatures rising to 24.5°C. However, tourists often report that Punta Cana weather in June is quite hot. This feeling they get because of the high humidity, which makes it feel like the air temperature is noticeably higher than the real one. In any case, high daytime temperatures, high humidity, and a UV index of 11 can cause you to get severe sunburn if you spend more than an hour in the sun without proper protection. nine0003
The sea temperature in Punta Cana in June is 27.7 degrees Celsius. Rains this month are not as frequent and plentiful as in May, but they can still ruin your day.

The weather in Punta Cana in July does not differ much from June weather. Temperatures are about the same as in June (30.3° C during the day and 24.
7° C at night), about the same level of precipitation (89mm) and the same very high UV index. Perhaps you can only notice that the winds are getting stronger, the water in the ocean is getting a little warmer (28.3 degrees). But still, we repeat, the weather in Punta Cana in July is almost the same as a month earlier.
Weather in Punta Cana in August
If you are planning to travel to Punta Cana in August, you should think twice before making a decision. In general, the weather in Punta Cana in August is not bad, but the fact is that this month there is a possibility of hurricanes coming here. This means that there is a possibility of being a little “stuck” in the hotel and looking at the ocean only from the window. But if there is no hurricane (it is not at all necessary that it will come here), then you can have a good rest, because, in general, the weather in Punta Cana in August can be even better than in many Mediterranean countries this month.
The average air temperature in Punta Cana in August is 31.1° C during the day and 25.5° C in the evening, which is lower than in Turkey, Tunisia and some other countries popular among tourists. Yes, the amount of precipitation here is higher than in the mentioned countries, as the average for August falls 98 mm of precipitation, but usually the rains in Punta Cana are intense and short, falling mostly in the afternoon.
Weather in Punta Cana in September
This month is considered to be the peak of the hurricane season in the Dominican Republic, but this does not mean that during your vacation in Punta Cana you will have to sit in your room and look at the raging elements. In fact, serious hurricanes in the Dominican Republic occur once every few years, and not always, although often, they occur in September. nine0213 In terms of weather, this month Punta Cana has an average daily temperature of 30.6°C and an average nighttime temperature of 25.2°C.
The average ocean temperature is approaching 29 degrees. It often rains in Punta Cana in September, but still, if a cyclone does not come to this area, then they are unlikely to spoil your vacation. Only during the cyclone can there be prolonged rains, and in normal times everything is limited to a short downpour in the afternoon. As for the wind, its speed usually does not exceed 23 km per hour, but in the event of a hurricane, the wind speed can be unusually high. nine0003
Weather in Punta Cana in October
This month is considered one of the rainiest in this resort area, as for the whole of October, an average of 187 mm of precipitation falls. Temperatures drop this month, but not much, with daytime temperatures as low as 30.2°C and nighttime temperatures as low as 24.4°C. While tropical storms may hit the Dominican Republic during this month, this development looks unlikely.
It is worth noting that the UV index in October decreases slightly (to 10), but it is still high enough to ignore sun protection.
The water off the coast of Punta Cana is still warm, with an average temperature of 28.6 degrees Celsius. The wind in October is usually not strong, its speed usually does not exceed 10 km per hour. nine0003
Punta Cana weather in November
Although November is still hurricane season, the weather during this time is more stable than in October, not to mention the weather in August and September. The likelihood of tropical storms hitting Punta Cana that could affect your holiday is relatively low at this time of the year. The air temperature in November continues to decrease and this month reaches an average of 29.3° C during the day and 23.7° C at night. The water in the ocean also cools, to 27.2 ° C. As for precipitation, there is still a lot of rain in November, but much less than in October. Still, 106 m after 187 mm is a noticeable reduction. The UV index drops even more noticeably, to 8. Of course, this does not mean that you can forget about sunscreen, but still its constant use will no longer be as necessary as in the summer months, as you will quickly burn in the sun will not work.
We add that in November the wind in Punta Cana becomes stronger, with a maximum speed of 20 km per hour. nine0003
Weather in Punta Cana in December
December is a perfect month for a holiday in Punta Cana, not only because of the beautiful weather, but also because of relatively low hotel prices.
The weather in Punta Cana becomes cooler in December, and storm activity tends to zero. The daytime temperature in December drops to 27.8 degrees, and the average nighttime temperature drops to 22.2 degrees. The ocean continues to cool in December, but still remains quite warm, with an average temperature of 26.7 degrees Celsius. As for precipitation, the average for the whole of December is 72 mm.
