What's the Weather like in Samana in June
The weather begins to heat up in Samana, just like it does in Bahia Maimon, another resort town in the Dominican Republic. Although the climate is gloriously stable throughout the yearemperatures and sunshine are basically constantune falls in the wetter part of the year.
Rainfall
That said, however; with 64mm of rainfall in total, June is by no means incredibly wet. There are no more than 11 days with some kind of rainfall, meaning, of course, that there are 19 days without a single drop of rain whatsoever. There's no significant variation in the chance of rainfall throughout the montht ranges between 47% and 52%. A testimony to the fact that this is the warmer and more humid part of the year, thunderstorms are now the most common type of rainfall. They occur on 48% of those 11 rainy days. Other, less common, rainfall types are light and moderate rain, which occur on 26% and 23% of those days.
Temperature
In June, high temperatures of up to 31°C are common. The evenings cool down to a much milder, yet still extremely pleasant, 22°C after the sun sets. These temperatures also remain basically constant throughout the month. The overall average temperature is 27°C, which is the annual maximum.
Average Sea Temperature
The sea temperature, too, is more than comfortable this time of year, averaging a delightful 28°C. It's a perfect time to enjoy a dip in the ocean.
Average Sunshine Hours
Although this may be statistically the wetter part of the year, that is not reflected in the number of sunshine hours. Rainfall happens in heavy, but brief downpours and thunderstorms, which always make way for blue skies and sunshine. June is characterised by 9 hours of sunshine per day on average, as sunny as it gets in this resort. The same amount of sunshine is experienced in April, July, August and September.

Eating and Drinking Out
Zu Ceviche
Whether you're in the mood for a light snack, a huge platter or anything in between, Zu Ceviche is a great place to go. Located in Las Terrenas, this tapas restaurant and bar serves small plates and cocktails in a casual, welcoming setting. People tend to rave about the service, while the prices aren't too bad either.
El Pan de Antes
Another recommended eating venue in Las Terrenas is El Pan de Antes. This one doesn't serve dinner, but is rather a place to grab lunch or an afternoon snack. They sell freshly baked breads, pastries and paninis, cookies and cakes, and many other delicacies. The drinks menu consists of juices and coffees.
Restaurant at Albachiara Hotel
The restaurant at Albachiara Hotel, also in Las Terrenas, has a terrace offering great sea views. This, combined with great service and a menu filled with international dishes, is what attracts guests to this well located dining venue.
Things to do in Samana in June
Rudy's Rancho
A particularly great way to explore the local area and enjoy the 9 hours of daily sunshine and warm weather that characterise June is horse riding. With Rudy's Rancho, you can choose to trek through the shady forest parts of the island or opt for a romantic ride on the beach at sunset. Rudy is very knowledgeable about the area and will be able to tell you about everything you see along the way. People who aren't used to riding a horse may feel fairly sore the following day. To avoid that, consider getting a massage afterward!
El Limon Waterfall
Combine a horse riding excursion and a trip to the spectacular El Limon Waterfall with Rancho Santi. On this trip you will be paired up with a horse and begin your journey to the falls under the guidance of one or two experienced English-speaking guides. After you have visited the waterfall, you will be treated to a traditional Dominican meal on your way back to the ranch.
