September is the peak month for hurricanes in the Caribbean. It is also the month when the most storms develop, with those beginning off Cape Verde in Africa having the highest potential for becoming storms that could affect the West Indies. This is also a time when rates at resorts are the lowest, and the hotels the least crowded. While September is a month with the most storms in the area, chances are these are spread out and the number of sunny days will outnumber the rainy days. The last hurricane to hit the Dominican Republic was Jeanne in 2003, and before that Georges in 1998. Both hit different coasts of this big Caribbean island.

At present, the DR is under the rain storms brought by the passing of Hurricane Hanna far to the northwest from us. For a thread on the storms as they develop this week, see:
