The climate of Santiago (Dominican Republic)
Santiago is located in the interior of the Dominican Republic and is the capital of the Santiago province. Santiago is the second largest town in the Dominican Republic and was founded by Columbus’ brother. Several shopping malls, casinos and theatres can be found here. Santiago has a first-rate nightlife, but it isn’t as exuberant as it is in Santo Domingo. Santiago has a university, the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra university. The north coast is just over an hours drive away from here. Everywhere in the city the sound of the merengue can be heard, 24/7.
The average temperature varies little in the city. The tropical trade wind is responsible for a tempering effect. The months of December and January are the coldest. The months of July and August are the warmest. Just like all of the Caribbean Santiago has a tropical climate. This makes Santiago vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical depressions. The average temperatures are a little lower in Santiago than in the rest of the country because the city is situated at 183 meters above sea level.
